We separated out the probe vertex using the W -W approximation, where the transverse momenta of initial gluons are unvanished.

Taking the leading logarithmic (1/x) approximation, one can get the total amplitude

Note that z1 >>z2 at the LLA(1/x), we insert δ(z1 -1) and obtain the evolution equation

where y = ln(1/z) and
