Abstract
We investigate factorisation at small x using a variety of analytical and numerical techniques. Previous results on factorisation in collinear models are generalised to the case of the full BFKL equation, and illustrated in the example of a collinear model which includes higher twist terms. Unlike the simplest collinear model, the BFKL equation leads to effective anomalous dimensions containing higher-twist pieces which grow as a (non-perturbative) power at small x. While these pieces dominate the effective splitting function at very small x they do not lead to a break-down of factorisation insofar as their effect on the predicted scaling violations remains strongly suppressed.
