Contribution

It provides a novel derivation of gluon production contributions within the Lipatov formalism and demonstrates their equivalence to the dipole model results.

Findings

Derived inclusive cross-section contributions using Lipatov effective action

Established AGK relations between different contributions

Confirmed the equivalence of the Lipatov and dipole picture results

Abstract

Gluon production on two scattering centers is studied in the formalism of reggeized gluons. Different contributions to the inclusive cross-section are derived with the help of the Lipatov effective action. The AGK relations between these contributions are established. The found inclusive cross-section is compared to the one in the dipole picture and demonstrated to be the same.
