Inclusive three jet production at the LHC as a new BFKL probe

TL;DR

This paper explores new observables involving three-jet events at the LHC to probe BFKL dynamics, focusing on azimuthal angle ratios in widely separated jets to enhance understanding of high-energy QCD processes.

Contribution

It introduces a novel set of ratios of azimuthal angle differences in three-jet events as sensitive probes of BFKL dynamics at the LHC.

Findings

Ratios of azimuthal angle differences effectively probe BFKL effects.

Three-jet configurations with large rapidity separations enhance sensitivity.

The proposed observables can distinguish BFKL dynamics from other QCD effects.

Abstract

We discuss recently proposed observables, sensitive to BFKL dynamics, in the context of multijet production at the large hadron collider (LHC). In particular, we consider ratios of azimuthal angle differences in final states with three jets, well separated in rapidity from each other, with two of them being very forward/backward and the third one in the central region.
