Abstract

We analyse the Balitsky-Kovchegov (BK) saturation equation in momentum space and solve it numerically. We confirm that, in the limit where the transverse momentum of the incident particle k is much bigger than the momentum transfer q, the equation admits traveling-wave solutions. We extract the q dependence of the saturation scale Q_s(Y) and verify that Q_s(Y = cste) scales as max (q, Q_T), where Q_T is the scale caracterizing the target.
