Nonlinear Gluon Evolution in the Color Glass Condensate: II
read the original abstract
We complete the construction of the renormalization group equation (RGE) for the Color Glass Condenstate begun in Paper I. This is the equation which governs the evolution with rapidity of the statistical weight function for the color glass field. The coefficients in this equation --- one-loop real and virtual contributions --- are computed explicitly, to all orders in the color glass field. The resulting RGE can be interpreted as the imaginary-time evolution equation, with rapidity as the ``imaginary time'', for a quantum field theory in two spatial dimensions. In the weak field limit it reduces to the BFKL equation. In the general non-linear case, it is equivalent to an equation by Weigert which summarizes in functional form the evolution equations for Wilson line operators previously derived by Balitsky and Kovchegov.

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...

Sub-eikonal Structure of High-Energy Deep-Inelastic Scattering
Sub-eikonal corrections to dipole structure functions F_L, F_T and the g1-related asymmetry are derived in a gauge-invariant dipole operator basis, with F_L shown to be finite and the others logarithmically divergent.

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.
