The energy dependence of the saturation scale in DIS at low x
  Consistency of the previously suggested color-dipole representation of deep-inelastic scattering (DIS_) and vector-meson production at low x with DGLAP evolution allows one to predict the exponent of the W^2 dependence of the saturation scale Lambda_sat^2(W^2) ~ (W^2)^C-2. One finds C_2^theory = 0.27 in agreement with the model-independent analysis of the experimental data from HERA on deep-inelastic electron scattering.
