Recent Developments at Small-x

We present a short overview of saturation physics followed by a summary of the recent progress in our understanding of nonlinear small-x evolution. Topics include McLerran–Venugopalan model, Glauber–Mueller approximation, nonlinear BK/JIMWLK evolution equations, along with the running-coupling and NLO corrections to these equations.
