Asymptotics of QCD traveling waves with fluctuations and running coupling effects

Understand

Extending independently the Balitsky-Kovchegov (BK) equation to running coupling or to fluctuation effects due to Pomeron loops is known to lead in both cases to qualitative changes of the traveling-wave asymptotic solutions.

• In this paper we study the extension of the forward BK equation, including both running coupling and fluctuations effects, using the method developed for the fixed coupling case.
• We derive the exact asymptotic behavior of the probabilistic distribution of the saturation scale.
