BFKL NLL phenomenology of forward jets at HERA and Mueller Navelet jets at the Tevatron and the LHC

TL;DR

This paper applies next-to-leading logarithmic BFKL formalism to analyze forward jet production at HERA and predicts azimuthal correlations for Mueller-Navelet jets at Tevatron and LHC, showing good data agreement.

Contribution

It provides a comprehensive BFKL-NLL analysis of forward jets and extends predictions to Mueller-Navelet jets at hadron colliders.

Findings

Good description of HERA forward jet data

Predictions for azimuthal correlations at Tevatron and LHC

Validation of BFKL-NLL formalism in phenomenology

Abstract

We perform a BFKL-NLL analysis of forward jet production at HERA which leads to a good description of data over the full kinematical domain. We also predict the azimuthal angle dependence of Mueller-Navelet jet production at the Tevatron and the LHC using the BFKL NLL formalism.
