Abstract

We present the calculation of the impact factor for the photon to quark, antiquark and gluon transition within Balitsky's shock-wave formalism. We also rederive the impact factor for photon to quark and antiquark transition. 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 literature.
