TL;DR

This paper calculates impact factors for gamma(*) transitions to quark-antiquark-gluon and quark-antiquark pairs using Balitsky's high energy operator expansion, aiding advanced studies of diffractive scattering.

Contribution

It provides new impact factor calculations for gamma(*) transitions within Balitsky's framework, extending previous approximations for diffractive scattering analysis.

Findings

Derived impact factors for gamma(*) -> q qb g and gamma(*) -> q qb transitions.

Enables more accurate phenomenological modeling of diffractive deep inelastic scattering.

Supports analysis of two and three jets diffractive production beyond existing approximations.

Abstract

We present the calculation of the impact factor for the gamma(*) -> q qb g transition within Balitsky's high energy operator expansion. We also rederive the impact factor for the gamma(*) -> q qb transition within the same framework. These results provide the necessary building blocks for further phenomenological studies of inclusive diffractive deep inelastic scattering as well as for two and three jets diffractive production which go beyond approximations discussed in the litterature.
