Abstract

We report on recent study of the production of forward di-jets in proton-proton and proton-lead collisions at the Large Hadron Collider with Improved Transversal Momentum Factorization \cite{vanHameren:2016ftb}. The results as compared to results obtained within High Energy Factorization show noticable effects related to detailed treatment of nonlinear effects.
