The dipole picture of small x physics (a summary of the Amirim meeting)

Abstract

A personal summary of the discussions which took place at the informal meeting in Amirim, Israel from June 1-4 2000, concerning the dipole picture of small-$x$ physics is presented. The broad aim of the meeting was to address the question ``Has HERA reached a new QCD regime (at small $x$) ?''. The new regime in question is the high-density, but weak-coupling, limit of perturbative QCD.
