Momentum Conservation at Small x

Abstract

We discuss how momentum conservation is implemented in perturbative computations based on expansions of anomalous dimensions appropriate at small $x$. We show that for any given choice of $F_2$ coefficient functions there always exists a factorization scheme where the gluon is defined in such a way that momentum is conserved at next to leading order.
