We consider within QCD collinear factorization the process p+p→jet+jet+X, where two forward high-pT jets are produced with a large separation in rapidity Δy (Mueller–Navelet jets). In this case the (calculable) hard part of the reaction receives large higher-order corrections $\alpha_s^n (\Delta y)^n$, which can be accounted for in the BFKL approach with next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, including contributions $\alpha_s^n (\Delta y)^{n-1}$. We calculate several observables related with this process, using the next-to-leading order jet vertices, recently calculated in the approximation of small aperture of the jet cone in the pseudorapidity–azimuthal angle plane.

Abstract
We consider within QCD collinear factorization the process p+p→jet+jet+X, where two forward high-pT jets are produced with a large separation in rapidity Δy (Mueller–Navelet jets). In this case the (calculable) hard part of the reaction receives large higher-order corrections $\alpha_s^n (\Delta y)^n$, which can be accounted for in the BFKL approach with next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, including contributions $\alpha_s^n (\Delta y)^{n-1}$. We calculate several observables related with this process, using the next-to-leading order jet vertices, recently calculated in the approximation of small aperture of the jet cone in the pseudorapidity–azimuthal angle plane.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
