The perturbative QCD predicts that the growth of the gluon density at small-$x$ (high energies) should saturate, forming a Color Glass Condensate (CGC), which is described in mean field approximation by the Balitsky-Kovchegov (BK) equation. Recently, the next-to-leading order corrections for the BK equation were derived and a global fit of the inclusive $ep$ HERA data was performed, resulting in a parameterization for the forward scattering amplitude. In this paper we compare this parameterization with the predictions of other phenomenological models and investigate the saturation physics in diffractive deep inelastic electron-proton scattering and in the forward hadron production in $pp$ collisions. Our results demonstrate that the running coupling BK solution is able to describe these observables.

We perform a global fit to the structure function F_2 measured in lepton-proton experiments at small values of Bjorken-x, xle 0.01, for all experimentally available values of Q^2, 0.045 GeV^2le Q^2 le 800 GeV^2. We show that the recent improvements resulting from the inclusion of running coupling corrections allow for a description of data in terms of non-linear QCD evolution equations. In this approach F_2 is calculated within the dipole model with all Bjorken-x dependence described by the running coupling Balitsky-Kovchegov equation. Two different initial conditions for the evolution are used, both yielding excellent fits to data with chi^2/d.o.f.<1.1. Data for the proton longitudinal structure function F_L, not included in the fits, are also well described. We provide predictions for F_2 and F_L in the kinematical regions of interest for future colliders and ultra-high energy cosmic rays. Our analysis allows to perform a first principle extrapolation of the proton-dipole scattering amplitude. A numerical implementation of our results down to x=10^{-12} is released as a computer code for public use.
Horowitz and Kovchegov have derived a $k_T$-factorization formula for particle production at small $x$ which includes running coupling corrections. We perform a first numerical analysis to confront the theory with data on the energy and centrality dependence of particle multiplicities at midrapidity in high-energy p+A (and A+A) collisions. Moreover, we point out a strikingly different dependence of the multiplicity per participant on $N_text{part}$ in p+Pb vs. Pb+Pb collisions at LHC energies, and argue that the observed behavior follows rather naturally from the convolution of the gluon distributions of an asymmetric vs. symmetric projectile and target.
We have found a successful model of chaotic inflation with an inflaton coupled nonminimally with gravity. The nonminimal coupling constant $xi$ runs with the evolution of the inflaton. The running nature of the coupling leads naturally to the situations where the coupling becomes small enough to have sufficient period of the inflation to resolve the cosmological puzzles.
We compute the magnetic field-induced modifications to the boson self-coupling and the boson-fermion coupling, in the static limit, using an effective model of QCD, the linear sigma model with quarks. The former is computed for arbitrary field strengths as well as using the strong field approximation. The latter is obtained in the strong field limit. The arbitrary field result for the boson self-coupling depends on the ultraviolet renormalization scale and this dependence cannot be removed by a simple vacuum subtraction. Using the strong field result as a guide, we find the appropriate choice for this scale and discuss the physical implications. The boson-fermion coupling depends on the Schwingers phase and we show how this phase can be treated consistently in such a way that the magnetic field induced vertex modification is both gauge invariant and can be written with an explicit factor corresponding to energy-momentum conservation for the external particles. Both couplings show a modest decrease with the field strength.
Using the constraint on the single top production cross-section obtained at the HERA collider, $sigma(ep to e t X)$, we evaluate an upper limit on oupling constant of the anomalous top quark interaction with a gluon via flavor-changing neutral current: $|kappa_{tgq}/Lambda| le 0.4 {TeV}^{-1}$, BR$(t to gq) < 13 % $
