First computation of Mueller Tang processes using a full NLL BFKL approach
A bstract We present the full next-to-leading order (NLO) prediction for the jet-gap-jet cross
section at the LHC within the BFKL approach. We implement, for the first time, the NLO
impact factors in the calculation of the cross section. We provide results for differential cross
sections as a function of the difference in rapidity and azimuthal angle betwen the two jets
and the second leading jet transverse momentum. The NLO corrections of the impact factors
induce an overall reduction of the cross section with respect to the corresponding …

Abstract
We present the full next-to-leading order (NLO) prediction for the jet-gap-jet cross section at the LHC within the BFKL approach. We implement, for the first time, the NLO impact factors in the calculation of the cross section. We provide results for differential cross sections as a function of the difference in rapidity and azimuthal angle betwen the two jets and the second leading jet transverse momentum. The NLO corrections of the impact factors induce an overall reduction of the cross section with respect to the corresponding predictions with only LO impact factors.
