Abstract

WE propose a new unified evolution equation for parton distribution functions appropriate for both large and small Bjorken x. Compared with the Ciafaloni- Catani-Fiorani-Marchesini equation, the cancellation of soft poles between virtual and real gluon emissions is made explicitly without introducing infrared cutoffs, next-to-leading contributions to the Sudakov resummation can be included systematically, and the scales of the running coupling constants are determined unambiguously.
