The formulation of kT factorization is build on factorization of scattering amplitudes in the high energy limit and the resummation of corresponding logarithms. As a consequence its applicability is at first limited to the so-called low x region. Moreover the resulting LO evolution is purely gluonic. Building on the lessons learned from (NLO) BFKL evolution, a possibility to extend the...
We present the calculation of the impact factor for the γ (∗) → qq¯ transition with one loop accuracy in arbitrary kinematics. The calculation was done within Balitsky’s high energy operator expansion. Together with our previous result for the γ (∗) → qqg¯ Born impact factor it allows one to derive cross-sections for 2- (one loop) and 3-jet (Born) difractive electroproduction. We write such...
A description of the transverse momentum spectrum of single inclusive forward
jets produced at the LHC, at the center-of-mass energies of 7 and 13 TeV, using the high
energy factorization (HEF) framework will be presented. Subsequently, a study of double inclusive forward jet production and, in particular, calculation of contributions to azimuthal angle distributions coming from double parton...
We study the operator structure of the unpolarized transverse-momentum-dependent (TMD) gluon distributions in the cross section for forward dijet production in dilute-dense collisions. At finite $N_c$, there are total of eight TMD gluon distributions for this process, including the dipole distribution and the Weizsacker-Williams gluon distribution. For each of these functions we derive their...
