Parton Saturation at Small x and in Large Nuclei
read the original abstract
Quark and gluon distributions in the light-cone wavefunction of a high energy hadron or nucleus are calculated in the saturation regime. One loop calculations are performed explicitly using the equivalence between the parton distribution in the light-cone wavefunction and the production distribution of that parton in a current-nucleon (nucleus) scattering. We argue that, except for some overall numerical factors, the Weizsacker- Williams wavefunction correctly gives the physics of the gluon distribution in a light-cone wavefunction.

Matching collinear factorization with color-glass condensate for inclusive and exclusive deep inelastic scattering
Collinear factorization amplitudes exactly reproduce the large-Q² expansion of CGC amplitudes for inclusive DIS, DVCS, and DVMP at the amplitude level.

Unpolarized GPDs at small $x$ and non-zero skewness
Unpolarized GPDs and GTMDs at small x with non-zero skewness are expressed via the dipole amplitude N and odderon O with modified rapidity Y = ln min{1/|x|, 1/|ξ|}.

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.
