Antishadowing effects in the unitarized BFKL equation

Abstract

A unitarized BFKL equation incorporating shadowing and antishadowing corrections of the gluon recombination is proposed. This equation reduces to the Balitsky-Kovchegov evolution equation near the saturation limit. We find that the antishadowing effects have a sizeable influence on the gluon distribution function in the preasymptotic regime.
