Highlights challenges in non-leading order BFKL

Abstract

We have developed a BFKL-based dipole model in impact parameter space, that has successfully predicted a wide range of total cross sections. The model has now been extended to a full event generator that is showing promising results. Some of the difficulties in non-leading order BFKL are discussed, and preliminary results are compared to CDF and ALICE data.
