The small-$x$ deep inelastic scattering in the saturation region is governed by the non-linear evolution of Wilson-lines operators. In the leading logarithmic approximation it is given by the BK equation for the evolution of color dipoles. In the NLO the nonlinear equation gets contributions from quark and gluon loops. In this paper I calculate the quark-loop contribution to small-x evolution of Wilson lines in the NLO. It turns out that there are no new operators at the one-loop level - just as at the tree level, the high-energy scattering can be described in terms of Wilson lines. In addition, from the analysis of quark loops I find that the argument of coupling constant in the BK equation is determined by the size of the parent dipole rather than by the size of produced dipoles. These results are to be supported by future calculation of gluon loops.

  1. Simultaneous Color Glass Condensate fit to deep inelastic scattering and forward hadron production at HERA, RHIC, and the LHC

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    A simultaneous LO CGC/BK fit to HERA DIS and RHIC/LHC forward hadron production reaches χ²/dof≈1, with complementary constraints and RHIC K-factors roughly twice those at the LHC.

  2. Confronting Color Glass Condensate at next-to-leading order with HERA data

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A Bayesian global fit at full NLO+NLL accuracy extracts the posterior distribution for the non-perturbative initial condition of the NLO Balitsky-Kovchegov equation from HERA inclusive and charm data.

  3. Collinearly Improved Balitsky-Kovchegov Evolution of the Gluon Wigner Distribution

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.5

    Collinearly improved IMST BK evolution moves the elliptic node and reshapes the rapidity and hard-scale dependence of coherent diffractive dijet ⟨cos2φ⟩ relative to LO BK, not just a normalization shift.

  4. Collinearly Improved Balitsky-Kovchegov Evolution of the Gluon Wigner Distribution

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Collinearly improved BK evolution shifts the elliptic node position and alters the rapidity and hard-scale dependence of the coherent dijet cos2φ signal rather than producing a simple normalization change.
