of the DGLAP evolution\[8,33-35\]. It is convenient to view that evolution proceeding from the hard scale  Q  toward softer scales, a direction opposite to that which is usually taken. In Fig.5, we illustrate the process in two steps: The left-hand part of the figure shows the virtual photon wavefunction in terms of its quark and gluon components. As in Fig.4, k is supposed to be the softest gluon and $\Delta
x_\perp = 2/k_\perp$ gives the transverse size of the $\gamma^*$ state. The right-hand part of the figure gives the diffractive scattering part of the process proceeding by gluon exchange from the proton interacting with the octet dipole consisting of the gluon $k$  and the remainder of the $\gamma^*$ state. Schematically, one may write

$$d\sigma_{SD} = {\rm flux}\  dP_r(k_\perp)[1-S(\Delta x_\perp = 2/k_\perp,
\b{b}, Y=\ell n 1/x)]^2d^2bdx_P\eqno(3.5)$$

where

$$dP_r(k_\perp) = {dk_\perp^2\over Q^2}\eqno(3.6)$$

is the probability that the lowest transverse momentum gluon have momentum $k_\perp .$ Eq.(3.6) shows that gluons with small $k_\perp$ have a small probability in the $\gamma^*$ wavefunction, analogous to what we found earlier for low momentum quarks in the aligned jet model. $1-S$ represents the amplitude for a gluon having $k_\perp,$ along with the remainder of the $\gamma^*$ wavefunction,
