The next-to-leading order alpha_{s} corrections to JIMWLK

The rapidity (energy) evolution of  hadronic observables in  scattering of a dilute perturbative projectile on a dense gluonic target is described in QCD by the JIMWLK equation. This is a functional non-linear equation that is consistent with the QCD unitarity. JIMWLK reduces to the linear BFKL equation when the scattering probability is low.

I'll first sketch the way the leading order JIMWLK equation is derived and then discuss the alpha_{s}^{2} corrections.
