Gluon initiated Drell-Yan process • M2 >>pT2, TMD factorization, resummed by Collins-Soper equation • S>>M2, Kt factorization, resummed by BFKL equation 1982-1983, Collins, Soper 1991, Catani, Ciafaloni and Hautmann 1991, Collins and R. K. Ellis The overlap region An explicit NLO cross section calculation shows that both the large logarithm appear. 2013, Mueller, Xiao, Yuan Such joint resummation has been also disscussed in other literatures. 2015, Balitsky and Tarasov; 2015 Marzani
In collinear calculation absorbed into PDF. One natural question: Does it accommodate both type large logarithms?
The main strategy In a simple quark model, at tree level: • both large logarithms are absent at LO; how is it dressed by quantum corrections at NLO?
Real graphs Sample diagrams: • Fig.a is the only diagram contributing to both the CS and the BFKL evolution kernel • Calculation formulated in the Ji-Ma-Yuan scheme.
One remark In the infinite momentum frame P+ --> ∞ BFKL rapidity divergence Collins-Soper rapidity divergence

Collecting all results In the leading logarithm approximations, Small x gluon TMD at NLO reads, 2016, ZJ
The resulting gluon TMD indeed simultaneously satisfies the both BFKL equation: CS equation:
Small x TMDs in CGC at NLO Sample diagrams Collinear divergence is absent Match small x TMDs onto multiple point functionsinstead of PDFs. Two step evolution: S M2 kT2 Xiao, Yuan and ZJ, in preparation.
NLO analysis further justifies the use of TMD factorization at small x.
