Numerical analysis of the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation with running coupling: dependence of the saturation scale on nuclear size and rapidity

We study the effects of including a running coupling constant in high-density QCD evolution. For fixed coupling constant, QCD evolution preserves the initial dependence of the saturation momentum $Q_s$ on the nuclear size $A$ and results in an exponential dependence on rapidity $Y$, $Q^2_s(Y) = Q^2_...
