The inclusive jet production in the BFKL-Bartels approach with a running coupling introduced via bootstrap

TL;DR

This paper derives the inclusive jet production cross-section off a heavy nucleus within the BFKL framework, incorporating a running coupling via bootstrap, highlighting differences from the dipole approach.

Contribution

It introduces a novel derivation of the inclusive jet cross-section using the BFKL approach with a bootstrap-based running coupling, contrasting with previous dipole method results.

Findings

Cross-section depends on three different coupling constants.

Method incorporates running coupling via bootstrap relation.

Results differ from dipole approach for gluon production.

Abstract

The inclusive cross-section for production of a jet with a given transverse momentum off a heavy nucleus is derived in the BFKL framework with a running coupling on the basis of the bootstrap relation. The cross-section depends on the same three different coupling constants as the total cross-section unlike the cross-section for gluon production derived in the dipole approach.
