We propose a general method to study the solutions to nonlinear QCD evolution equations, based on a deep analogy with the physics of traveling waves. In particular, we show that the transition to the saturation regime of high energy QCD is identical to the formation of the front of a traveling wave. Within this physical picture, we provide the expressions for the saturation scale and the gluon density profile as a function of the total rapidity and the transverse momentum. The application to the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation for both fixed and running coupling constants confirms the effectiveness of this method.

  1. Summing large Pomeron loops in the saturation region: dipole-nucleus collision beyond nonlinear equations

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    After summing large Pomeron loops, the dipole-nucleus amplitude has the same energy dependence as dipole-dipole scattering, limiting the BK equation to z' below roughly 2 sqrt(kappa c) A^{1/6}.

  2. Multiplicity distributions in DIS for heavy nucleus

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Homotopy solutions to BFKL Pomeron evolution equations in nuclear DIS produce multiplicity distributions of produced gluons.

  3. Dipole-dipole scattering: summing large Pomeron loops in non-linear evolution with leading twist kernel

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In a leading-twist kernel, matching the BK solution to fan-diagram series yields KNO multiplicity distributions and gluon entropy S_E = ln(xG) for dipole-nucleus and dipole-dipole scattering.

  4. Summing large Pomeron loops in the saturation region: nucleus-nucleus collision

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The nucleus-nucleus scattering amplitude deep in the saturation region reduces to the single nucleon-nucleon term and therefore has the same energy dependence as dipole-dipole scattering.

  5. QCD-Gravity double copy in Regge asymptotics: from $2\rightarrow n$ amplitudes to radiation in shockwave collisions

    A lecture-note synthesis showing that the same Lipatov vertices and reggeized propagators govern multi-particle production in QCD and gravity, with double-copy, Weinberg soft, and shockwave limits all connected in one...
