Abstract

We compute the approximate cross section σn(0)\sigma_n^{(0)} for producing n2n-2 {\it resolved} gluons in a gluon-gluon collision, using the Parke-Taylor formula regularized in a Lorentz invariant manner. We find, in double leading logarithm approximation, that σn(0)1s(Ncαs2π12 ln2(s/scut))n2  , \sigma_{n}^{(0)} \approx \frac{1}{s} \left( \frac{N_c\alpha_s}{2 \pi \sqrt{12}} \ \ln^{2} (s/s_{cut})\right)^{n-2}\ \ , where scut\sqrt{s_{cut}} is the minimum invariant mass for a resolved gluon pair. There is no factor of 1/(n2)!1/(n-2)! multiplying the expression. We present additional numerical results, and comment on their implications for perturbative calculations of nn-jet cross sections at colliders.
