From saturation scale QS2, QCD evolution is stopped Saturation Scale DGLAP MD-DGLAP JIMWLK TRUE ? Qs2 ?
Left: The solid (dotted) curves are the results of the MD-DGLAP equation with (without) antishadowing corrections. The dashed curves are the results of the DGLAP equation with the GRV98LO. Notice that the solid and dashed curves have opposite concavities. Right: As Left but for the sea quark distribution in the proton.
Left:The Q2 dependence of the gluon distribution in proton at fixed values of x. The solid (dotted) curves correspond to with (without) antishadowing corrections. The dashed cuves are the results of the DGLAP equation with the GRV98LO. Right As Left but for the sea quark distribution function in proton.

Unfortunately, nobody knows the correct solution of the JIMWLK equation except itszero-ordersolution.
4. Phenomenology of Saturation The distribution of partons in the transverse plane.
R is the radius of the hadron and x the momentum fraction of the considered gluons. Saturation sets in when , or equivalently for: The recombination cross-section for gluon with transverse momentum Q is roughly given by the number of such gluons per unit of transverse area is given by
is the probability that the dipole does not have an inelastic interaction as it passes through the nucleus
quark saturation momentum gluon saturation momentum
a maximum occupation number for quarks Some Predictions The CGC approach for nucleus - nucleus collision with the saturation of parton density.
