Abstract: The DGLAP evolution scheme offers a description of the reality which might be inaccurate at very small-x. One way to look for alternative evolution schemes, which might be able to describe that region, is looking simultaneously in the forward and central activity in the detector.

Living Reviews in Relativity resumes publication
Living Reviews in Relativity has been one of the most prestigous journals in the field of Gravitation. After interrupting its activity in September 2014, it was recently acquired by Springer and has now resumed publication with the new review articles: "Exploring New Physics Frontiers Through Numerical Relativity" co-authored by our group.
