TL;DR
This paper proposes using the inclusive production of two heavy quarks separated by a large rapidity gap as a new way to observe BFKL dynamics, extending the idea from photoproduction to hadroproduction.
Contribution
It introduces a novel experimental channel for probing BFKL dynamics through heavy quark production at large rapidity separations.
Findings
Identifies a new process sensitive to BFKL effects
Extends the analysis from photoproduction to hadroproduction
Provides theoretical framework for experimental investigation
Abstract
The inclusive photoproduction of two heavy quarks, separated by a large rapidity interval, is proposed as a new channel for the manifestation of the Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) dynamics. The extension to the hadroproduction case is also discussed.
