A Simple Derivation of the JIMWLK Equation

Abstract

A simple derivation of the Jalilian-Marian, Iancu, McLerran, Weigert, Leonidov and Kovner (JIMWLK) equation for the evolution of small-x QCD wavefunctions is given. The derivation makes use of the equivalence between the evolution of a (in general complicated) small-x wavefunction with that of the evolution of the (simple) dipole probing the wavefunction in a high energy scattering.
