Description

It is shown that kt-factorization supplemented with the CCFM evolution is a powerful tool for describing hadronic final states. A solution to the CCFM equation has been found, which describes not only the DIS x-section at HERA, but also hadronic final states, like the forward jet and heavy quark production cross sections. With the unintegrated gluon distribution obtained from HERA data, the bottom puzzle at the Tevatron is also consistently solved. Is is shown that kt-factorization is an excellent tool for effectively estimating and simulating higher order alpha_s corrections in high-energy collisions.
