Universality of Unintegrated Gluon Distributions at small x
read the original abstract
We systematically study dijet production in various processes in the small-$x$ limit and establish an effective $k_t$-factorization for hard processes in a system with dilute probes scattering on a dense target. We find that the well-known Weizs\"{a}cker-Williams gluon distribution can be directly probed in the quark-antiquark jet correlation in deep inelastic scattering and the dipole gluon distribution can be directly measured in the direct photon-jet correlation in $pA$ collisions. In the large-$N_c$ limit, the unintegrated gluon distributions involved in other different dijet channels in pA collisions are shown to be related to two widely proposed ones: the Weizs\"{a}cker-Williams gluon distribution and the dipole gluon distribution.

When JIMWLK evolution really matters: the example of incoherent diffraction
JIMWLK evolution gives larger incoherent diffraction cross sections than the Gaussian approximation for photon-nucleus collisions because the latter is invalid for four-gluon starting correlators.

Forward trijet production in proton-nucleus collisions: gluon initiated channel
The gluon-initiated trijet channel in forward pA collisions is calculated at leading order in CGC, revealing a four-gluon vertex structure matching instantaneous terms and showing how rapidity and collinear divergence...

Probing Saturation Effect in Heavy Meson Pair Correlation in Forward $pA$ Collisions
Heavy meson pair correlations in forward pA collisions are computed in the CGC framework with Sudakov resummation, reproducing LHCb data and showing a mass hierarchy in R_pA that strengthens at higher rapidity.

On the Two $R$-Factors in the Small-$x$ Shockwave Formalism
Replacing the rapidity argument of the dipole amplitude with ln min{1/|x|, 1/|ξ|} and refining initial conditions for non-linear evolution can eliminate two R-factors in small-x shockwave calculations.
