Abstract: (Elsevier)
The very small x behaviour of the gluon distribution in a proton is investigated by solving the Lipatov equation with the nonlinear shadowing term included. We find, with decreasing x , the emergence of an x − λ behaviour and the eventual taming of this singularity by the shadowing term. We compare our dynamically generated gluon with that obtained in a recent QCD structure function analysis which incorporated the Lipatov and shadowing effects.- gluon: momentum spectrum
- p: structure function
- structure function: small-x
- Lipatov equation: solution
