Saturation of Gluon Density at Small x

Abstract

Gluon distribution function at small x is computed using the extended McLerran-Venugopalan model. A lipatov like enhancement is seen as well as a non-trivial transverse momentum dependence which is estimated. It is shown that gluon density saturates at small x which would lead to unitarization of cross sections computed with this distribution function.
