Description

We show that the resummation of double logarithmic corrections to transverse momentum broadening of fast partons in large QCD media in the vicinity of the saturation boundary yields a universal distribution and exhibits anomalous scaling akin to super diffusive processes such as Lévy random walks. This asymptotic, all order result may have implications in the phenomenology of dijet production in pA and AA collisions and provides a new initial condition for small-x evolution that accounts for gluon fluctuations that live within the target.
