Low x News for Monte Carlo

Abstract

This talk,given at Monte Carlo Workshop, is a review of news in low $x$ physics which, I think, would be useful for writing of the Monte Carlo codes. The following topics are discussed here: (i) the next-to-leading order BFKL Pomeron; (ii) two indications for shadowing corrections (SC) in DIS from HERA data; (iii) matching of "soft" and "hard" photon - proton interactions; and (iv) survival probability for large rapidity gap (LRG) processes in hadron-hadron scattering and DIS. I hope, that our current understanding of these topics will allow us to narrow the gap between the MC codes and our microscopic theory - QCD.
