Scheme Transformations in Non-Linear QCD Evolution: Towards a Stable NLO BK Equation

Renaud Boussarie, Paul Caucal, Piotr Korcyl +1

High-energy QCD evolution at NLO suffers from large collinear logarithms that make the perturbative expansion of the Balitsky-Kovchegov (BK) equation unstable. We develop a systema…

Renaud Boussarie, Luigi Delle Rose, Michael Fucilla +3

Continuing our previous study of Deeply Virtual Meson Production (DVMP) at twist-3 accuracy, we derive compact expressions for all helicity amplitudes. We perform a phenomenologica…

Renaud Boussarie, Michael Fucilla, Lech Szymanowski +1

We provide the most general description of the exclusive leptoproduction of a light vector meson, at high center-of-mass energy, within the CGC/shockwave formalism. We keep a twist…
