More about BFKL:• successful fits to (e.g. Kowalski,Lipatov,Ross)• BFKL resummation in DGLAP splitting functions (e.g. Colferai et al,; Forte et al.; Thorne at al.): improves DGLAP at small x.• forward jets: special kinematics for BFKL test. DGLAP fails

BFKL energy dependence: make use of different machine energies
Y dependence is combination of BFKL and parton densities:
Instead: fix x of parton densities, vary machine energies

II. Mean field approximation
Coupled system of equations:
Mean field approximation leads to nonlinear equation (BK-equation): < p|A(y, p1)A(y, p2)A(y, p3)A(y, p4)|p >=
< p|A(y, p1)A(y, p2)|p >< p|A(y, p3)A(y, p4) >

parton density,DGLP/BFKL
diffractive parton density, soft Pomeron
diffractive parton density, hard Pomeron
Counting problem: how much diffraction is inside the initial condition of DGLAP?parton density does not contain hard diffraction. Best: unify the two description.

The LHC picture:
Again the same counting problem. In addition: need the survival probability

Survival probability:
Second (and third..) chain fills the gap. Simplest possibility:recombination

Conclusions
• small-x physics at the LHC is essential • importance of higher order correlators (‘more than dipole cross section’) • understanding QCD dynamics: small-x is step towards (nonperturbative) strong interactions • most important for the search for new physics: multiple interactions, needs theoretical work!

Next step: more chains, higher twist JB, Golec-Biernat, Motyka
Most striking: twist 4 corrections (in LLA)!FT!FL, have opposite sign: cancellation in F2 = FL + FT
Warning for other applications: higher twist corrections maybe larger!

Main tool: QCD parton picture (collinear factorization)• parton densities• subprocesses
But: these tools cover only a small part of the phase space Small-x physics: extension, cross section become largeNew dynamics: nonlinear extensions of BFKL, saturationBeyond small-x/saturation: strong interactions
Introduction
1) Main goal of LHC: search for new physicsHowever: the near future may be dominated bystudies of the QCD/strong interaction background2) QCD important by itself.
