Description

Recently, a novel factorization scheme has been put forward in the context of DIS . This new approach allows to connect the moderate x regime where the partonic picture is manifest to the small x regime best described by strong classical fields. In this work, we explore quantum evolution of the associated 3D gluon distribution that encodes saturation effects. In this framework, we obtain a new evolution equation that reduces to the BK an d BFKL equations at small x and connects smoothly to DGLAP at moderate x. We argue that this equation automatically resums large collinear logs that are know to be related to numerical instabilities in the NLO BK equation.
