Multiplicity distribution of dipoles in QCD from Le, Mueller and Munier equation

Abstract

In this paper we derived in QCD the BFKL linear, inhomogeneous equation for the factorial moments of multiplicity distribution($M_k$) from LMM equation. In particular, the equation for the average multiplicity of the color-singlet dipoles($N$) turns out to be the homogeneous BFKL while $M_k \propto N^k$ at small $x$. Second, using the diffusion approximation for the BFKL kernel we show that the factorial moments are equal to: $M_k=k!N( N-1)^{k-1}$ which leads to the multiplicity distribution:$ \frac{\sigma_n}{\sigma_{in}}=\frac{1}{N} ( \frac{N\,-\,1}{N})^{n - 1}$. We also suggest a procedure for finding corrections to this multiplicity distribution which will be useful for descriptions of the experimental data.
