On the 2nd Order Corrections to the Hard Pomeron and the Running Coupling
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is shown that solutions to the 2nd order BFKL eigenvalue equation exist for arbitrary large real values of the complex angular momentum j. This corresponds to a cut in the complex j plane along the whole real axis, and it makes the use of the complex angular momentum variable for the calculation of the high-energy behavior somewhat questionable. The eigenfunctions contain non-perturbative pieces which behave as exp(−1/αsb) and have no counterpart in the leading-log BFKL equation. The high-energy behavior of the 2nd order BFKL Green function as found by other authors, is reproduced by excluding these non-perturbative pieces of the eigenfunctions.

Expanding running coupling effects in the hard Pomeron
We study QCD hard processes at scales of order k ≫ Λ in the limit in which the beta-function coefficient b is taken to be small, but ᾱs(k ) is kept fixed. The (nonperturbative) Pomeron is exponentially suppressed in this limit, making it possible to define purely perturbative high-energy Green’s functions. The hard Pomeron exponent acquires diffusion and running coupling corrections which can b...
متن کاملConformal intercept of BFKL pomeron with NLO running coupling constant corrections
In the present note we propose a shift of the anomalous dimension function of the eigenfunctions of the BFKL equation with the NLO running coupling corrections. The calculated eigenvalue of the modified equation turns out to be conformal invariant and we discuss consequences of this result.
متن کاملDiffusion into infra - red and unitarization of the BFKL pomeron
The BFKL pomeron in perturbative QCD is plagued by the lack of unitarity and diffusion into the infra-red region of gluon virtualities. These two problems are intimately related. We perform numerical studies of the evolution equation proposed by Balitsky and Kovchegov which unitarizes the BFKL pomeron. We show how diffusion into the infra-red region is suppressed due to the emergence of a satur...
متن کاملHard to soft pomeron transition in small-x deep inelastic scattering data using optimal renormalization.
We show that it is possible to describe the effective Pomeron intercept, determined from the HERA deep inelastic scattering data at small values of Bjorken x, by using next-to-leading order Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov evolution together with collinear improvements. To obtain a good description over the whole range of Q(2), we use a non-Abelian physical renormalization scheme with the Brodsky-...

We discuss the small-x behaviour of the next-to-leading BFKL equation, depending on various smoothing out procedures of the running coupling constant at low momenta. While scaling violations (with resummed and calculable anomalous dimensions) turn out to be always consistent with the renormalization group, we argue that the nature and the location of the so-called hard Pomeron are dependent on ...
