Structure function of the nucleus in the perturbative QCD with $N_c\to\infty$ (BFKL pomeron fan diagrams)

Equation for the sum of BFKL pomeron fan diagrams is rederived by direct summation and solved numerically for rapidities $y\leq 50$. At high rapidities y>20 the resulting cross-sections for the scattering of a longitudinally polarized $q\bar q$ pair on the nucleus cease to depend on its transverse dimension and tend to a constant limit 0.1768 $R_A^2$, which corresponds to scattering of a colour dipole on a black disk. Thus the unitarity is restored and the singularity in the j plane is reduced to a simple pole at j=1.The nuclear structure function at small x behaves as $Q^2\ln(1/x)$. The found gluon density has a soliton-like form in the $\log k$ space: its form is close to Gaussian, independent of rapidity, the centermoving towards higher $\log k$ with a nearly constant velocity as rapidity increases.
