Impact-parameter-dependent solutions to the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation at next-to-leading order

Abstract

A stable numerical solution of the impact-parameter-dependent next-to-leading order Balitsky-Kovchegov equation is presented for the first time. The rapidity evolution of the dipole amplitude is discussed in detail. Dipole amplitude properties, such as the evolution speed or anomalous dimension behaviour, are studied as a function of the impact parameter and the dipole size and compared to solutions of the impact-parameter-dependent leading-order Balitsky-Kovchegov equation with the collinearly improved kernel. The next-to-leading evolution also strongly suppresses the Coulomb tails compared to the collinearly improved and leading order solutions.
