Multi-jet production in the high energy limit at LHC

TL;DR

This paper reviews azimuthal angle correlation observables in inclusive 3 jet production at the LHC, exploring their stability under higher order corrections and analyzing the effects of rapidity vetoes on Mueller-Navelet jets.

Contribution

It introduces generalized azimuthal correlation observables for 3 jet production and assesses their robustness beyond leading order, extending the Mueller-Navelet jet analysis.

Findings

Observables remain stable with higher order corrections.

Rapidity vetoes influence azimuthal correlations.

Enhanced understanding of jet correlations at high energies.

Abstract

We briefly review observables that were recently proposed in inclusive 3 jet production at hadronic colliders. They are based on azimuthal angle correlations between the final state jets and can be seen as a generalisation of the usual Mueller-Navelet setup. We discuss the stability of the observables once higher order corrections beyond the leading logarithmic accuracy are taken into account. Finally, we give a status report on a related project in which we examine azimuthal angle correlations for Mueller-Navelet jets after imposing a rapidity veto which forbids subsequent minijet emissions to be very close in rapidity.
