Perturbative Estimates of the Eigenfunctions of the Non-Forward BFKL Kernel
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss, within the context of first order perturbation theory, the correction to the NLO BFKL wavefunction for scattering processes with non-zero momentum transfer, arising from the fact that in NLO the kernel is not covariant under conformal transformations.

The Effect of Higher Order Corrections to the BFKL Equation on the Perturbative Pomeron
We discuss the significance of the next-to-leading order term in the BFKL equation on the energy dependence of diffractive processes controlled by the perturbative QCD pomeron. It is shown that whereas the large negative corrections do indeed reduce the rate of growth of diffractive amplitudes with increasing energy, this reduction is considerably less than previously expected. SHEP-98/06 April...
متن کاملOn the 2nd Order Corrections to the Hard Pomeron and the Running Coupling
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 pi...
متن کاملHow to Run the Coupling in the Dipole Approach to the BFKL Equation
We use the dipole expansion to provide a systematic way of including the running coupling into the BFKL equation. In terms of a Borel representation, we obtain an expression for the kernel of the BFKL equation. E-mail: [email protected] dar @hep.phys.soton.ac.uk [email protected] It was first pointed out by Lipatov [1] that the running of the coupling plays an important role in th...
متن کاملNon-forward Nlo Bfkl Kernel *
Details of the calculation of the non-forward BFKL kernel at next-to-leading order (NLO) are offered. Specifically we show the calculation of the two-gluon production contribution. This contribution was the last missing part of the kernel. Together with the NLO gluon Regge trajectory, the NLO contribution of one-gluon production and the contribution of quark-antiquark production which were foun...
متن کاملA Study of the Gluon Ladder in Diffractive Processes
The solution to the non–forward BFKL equation in the Leading Logarithmic approximation is expressed in terms of a sum of iterations of its kernel directly in transverse momentum and rapidity space. Several studies of the non–forward solution are performed both at the level of the gluon Green’s function and for a toy cross–section, including an analysis of the diffusion properties as found in th...
