Abstract:
Equation for the sum of BFKL pomeron fan diagrams is rederived by direct summation and solved numerically for rapidities y50y\leq 50. At high rapidities y>20 the resulting cross-sections for the scattering of a longitudinally polarized qqˉq\bar q pair on the nucleus cease to depend on its transverse dimension and tend to a constant limit 0.1768 RA2R_A^2, which corresponds to scattering of a colour dipole on a black disk. Thus the unitarity is restored and the singularity in the j plane is reduced to a simple pole at j=1.The nuclear structure function at small x behaves as Q2ln(1/x)Q^2\ln(1/x). The found gluon density has a soliton-like form in the logk\log k space: its form is close to Gaussian, independent of rapidity, the centermoving towards higher logk\log k with a nearly constant velocity as rapidity increases.
