Running coupling in small-x evolution

Heribert Weigert (University of Oulu)

Running coupling corrections play a qualitatively and quantitatively important role in any attempt to describe the energy dependence of QCD observables, be it at low densities or in the context of a Color Glass Condensate. I will attempt to clarify why this is a crucial issue and then present the result of the first calculation of these contributions. A brief look at first applications will serve to illustrate consequences for phenomenology.
