Description

We use transverse momentum dependent splitting functions to construct a low-x
evolution equation for gluons that takes into account the effect of non-diagonal
quark-to-gluon splittings. In order to write down a consistent equation we
resum virtual corrections coming from the gluon channel and demonstrate that
this implies a suitable regularization of the Pgq singularity, corresponding to
a soft emitted quark. We also note that the obtained equation is in a straightforward
manner generalized to a nonlinear evolution equation which takes into account
effects due to the presence of high gluon densities.
