Mueller-Navelet jets at 13 TeV LHC: dependence on dynamic constraints in the central rapidity region

TL;DR

This paper investigates Mueller-Navelet jet production at 13 TeV LHC, analyzing azimuthal correlations and the impact of excluding central rapidity jets, using BFKL resummation within collinear factorization.

Contribution

It introduces a detailed study of azimuthal correlations with dynamic constraints on jet rapidity regions at NLL BFKL accuracy.

Findings

Azimuthal correlations vary with rapidity separation Y.

Excluding central rapidity jets affects correlation measurements.

Results provide insights into jet production dynamics at high energies.

Abstract

We study the production of Mueller-Navelet jets at 13 TeV LHC, within collinear factorization and including the BFKL resummation of energy logarithms in the next-to-leading approximation. We calculate several azimuthal correlations for different values of the rapidity separation $Y$ between the two jets and evaluate the effect of excluding those events where, for a given $Y$, one of the two jets is produced in the central region.
