  Determination of the intercept of the BFKL pomeron is one of the pressing
issues in the high energy physics. Earlier we have shown that, at the dipole
size $r=r_{\Delta}=(0.1-0.2)$f, the dipole cross section $\sigma(x,r)$ which is
a solution of the generalized BFKL equation, exhibits a precocious asymptotic
behavior $\sigma(x,r)\propto \left({1\over x}\right)^{\Delta_{\Pom}}$. In this
paper we discuss how measuring $F_{L}(x,Q^{2})$ and $\partial
F_{T}(x,Q^{2})/\partial \log Q^{2}$ at $Q^{2}= (10-40)$GeV$^{2}$ and
$Q^{2}=(2-10)$GeV$^{2}$, respectively, one can probe $\sigma(x,r_{\Delta})$ and
directly determine the intercept $\Delta_{\Pom}$ of the BFKL pomeron in the
HERA experiments.
