Regge behaviour of distribution functions and evolution of gluon distribution function in Next-to-Leading order at low-x

Abstract

Evolution of gluon distribution function from Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi (DGLAP) evolution equation in next-to-leading order (NLO) at low-x is presented assuming the Regge behaviour of quarks and gluons at this limit. We compare our results of gluon distribution function with MRST2004, GRV98LO and GRV98NLO parameterizations and show the compatibility of Regge behaviour of quark and gluon distribution functions with perturbative quantum chromodynamics (PQCD) at low-x.
