Next-to-Leading Approximation of BFKL for Dijet Production with Large Rapidity Separation between Jets at the LHC

Abstract

New evidence of the manifestation of the Balitsky–Fadin–Kuraev–Lipatov (BFKL) evolution effects is obtained by comparison of the calculation of Meueller–Navelet (MN) dijet production cross section in the next-to-leading logarithmic approximation of the BFKL evolution with the recent CMS measurement. Here the MN dijet is the maximally separated in rapidity pair of jets with both jets taken among jets with transverse momentum above some chosen \(p_{\perp\min}\) in an event.
