Description
When parton momentum faction $x$ of hadron becomes small, an enhancement from small-$x$ logarithms shows up, and eventually, we enter into a partonic saturation region. A consistent treatment of the small-$x$ logarithms requires an all-order resummation which can be achieved with the BFKL formalism. However, a boundary to delineate the small-$x$ resummation region from saturation one is ambiguous. In this study, we take a $x$-dependent DIS scale motivated by the saturation model in a global analysis, which improves the QCD description of the HERA DIS data. In parallel, we also explore the BFKL-improved DGLAP evolution, which achieves a similar $\chi^2$ for the same data set. We compare various impacts of these two methods on the parton distributions and emphasize the phenomenological implications on the Foward Physics Facility.
