BKP states in the inclusive gluon production

TL;DR

This paper calculates the inclusive gluon production cross-section in NLO perturbative QCD with many colors, finding it matches the dipole picture and showing no evidence of BKP states.

Contribution

It provides a detailed NLO calculation of gluon production cross-section and demonstrates the absence of BKP states in this context.

Findings

Cross-section matches the dipole picture

No evidence of BKP states found

Supports the dipole picture validity at NLO

Abstract

Inclusive cross-section for gluon production is calculated by the dispersion technique in the NLO in the perturbative QCD with a large number of colours. The found cross-section coincides with the one derived in the dipole picture. No trace of the BKP states is found.
