Asymptotics of QCD traveling waves with fluctuations and running coupling effects

Abstract

Extending independently the Balitsky-Kovchegov (BK) equation to running coupling or to fluctuation effects due to Pomeron loops is known to lead in both cases to qualitative changes of the traveling-wave asymptotic solutions. In this paper we study the extension of the forward BK equation, including both running coupling and fluctuations effects, using the method developed for the fixed coupling case. We derive the exact asymptotic behavior of the probabilistic distribution of the saturation scale.
