THE PERTURBATIVE POMERON AND THE CCFM EQUATION

The first part of my talk is a very brief review of the Pomeron and ho w it is described in perturbative QCD by the BFKL equation. The BFKL P omeron differs from that observed in total cross sections, but there i s same hope that it may be observed in perturbative high energy proces ses. A particular application of the BFKL equation is to the evolution of the gluon at low x and the consequences that this has on the struc ture functions, F-2 and F-L. Finally I discuss the CCFM equation which contains both the BFKL and more traditional DGLAP forms of gluon evol ution.
