Non-forward NLO BFKL Kernel

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-11 v1

Abstract

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 found before it defines the kernel completely for any colour state in the tt-channel, in particular the Pomeron kernel presented recently.
