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

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 dσ/dx, the NLL corrections are small which confirms the stability of the BFKL description. The triple differential cross section dσ/...

Summary: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 dσ/dx, the NLL corrections are small which confirms the stability of the BFKL description. The triple differential cross section dσ/dxdkT2dQ2 is sensitive to NLL effects and opens the way for an experimental test of the full BFKL theoretical framework at NLL accuracy.
