Title	On the relevance of the BFKL equation to deep inelastic scattering at HERA
Contributors	JR Forshaw (SERC Rutherford Appleton Lab.), PN Harriman (Manchester U.), PJ Sutton (Manchester U.)
Abstract	We study the theoretical uncertainties which arise from the presence of both very large and very small momenta in the BFKL approach to small-x physics. We present a modification to the BFKL equation which incorporates an ultra-violet limit suggested by energy conservation. The solution of this equation results in a gluon distribution which has a slower growth at small x and low Q2 than that of the traditional BFKL equation.
