Next-leading BFKL effects in forward-jet production at HERA

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We show that next-leading logarithmic (NLL) Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) effects can be tested by the forward-jet cross sections recently measured at HERA. For d σ / d x, the NLL corrections are small which confirms the stability of the BFKL description. The triple differential cross section d σ / d x d kT2 d Q2 is sensitive to NLL effects and opens the way for an experimental test of the full BFKL theoretical framework at NLL accuracy.
