An estimate is derived for the absolute magnitude of BFKL pomeron exchange at $t=0$. The analysis takes account of energy conservation and of the need realistically to model nonperturbative contributions to the BFKL integral from infrared…
The soft pomeron successfully correlates a wide variety of data. Its properties seem rather simple: it couples to single quarks and its coupling factorises.
New small-$x$ data indicate the existence of two pomerons: the usual soft pomeron with intercept close to 1.08, and a hard pomeron with intercept about 1.4
Onium-onium scattering at high energy is used to illustrate a dipole picture of high energy hard scattering in the large $N_c$ limit. Single and double BFKL pomeron exchanges are calculated in the leading logarithmic approximation. An…
In this paper we introduce the confinement into the kernel of the BFKL equation,assuming that the sizes of produced dipoles cannot be large. The goal of this paper is to find how this assumption, which leads to a correct exponential…
Determination of the intercept of the BFKL pomeron is one of the pressing issues in the high energy physics. Earlier we have shown that, at the dipole size $r=r_{\Delta}=(0.1-0.2)$f, the dipole cross section $\sigma(x,r)$ which is a…
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…
We pose the question: how far can we push the QCD dipole model and the idea of QCD saturation to the kinematical regions traditionally associated with soft nonperturbative physics? The answer is that it works sufficiently well allowing a…
We discuss the BFKL equation with a running gauge coupling and identify in its solutions the contributions originating from different transverse momentum scales. We show that for a running coupling constant the distribution of the gluons…
A method allowing for a direct comparison of data with theoretical predictions is proposed for forward jet production at HERA and Mueller-Navelet jets at Tevatron and LHC. An application to the determination of the effective Pomeron…
In this paper we proceed with the study of the Pomeron spectrum, by solving numerically the BFKL equation with massive gluons and running coupling. The spectrum of Regge singularities is discrete and the leading Pomeron has a considerable…
Conformally invariant reggeon interactions derived from $t$-channel unitarity are discussed and progress towards understanding the ``physical Pomeron'', via massless quark reggeon interactions, is briefly outlined.
We solve the BFKL equation in the leading logarithmic approximation numerically in the Yang-Mills theory with the Higgs mechanism for the vector boson mass generation. It can be considered as a model for the amplitude with the correct…
The pomeron-pomeron interaction is studied in the perturbative approach of BFKL-Bartels. The total pomeron-pomeron cross-section is proportional to $\alpha_{s}^{4}s^{\Delta}/\sqrt {t_{1}t_{2}}$ where $\sqrt{s}$ is the c.m. energy and…
In this paper an attempt is made to find an interface of the perturbative BFKL Pomeron with the non-perturbative Pomeron originating from non-perturbative QCD phenomena such as QCD instantons and/or scale anomaly. The main idea is that the…
Strong correlations are obtained between the number and the average transverse momentum of jets emitted by the exchange of a single BFKL Pomeron.
The small-$t$ behaviour of the deep inelastic diffractive dissociation cross section in the triple Regge region is investigated, using the BFKL approximation in perturbative QCD. We show that the cross section is finite at $t=0$, but the…
Recently the H1 and ZEUS collaborations have presented cross sections for DIS events with a forward jet. The BFKL formalism is able to produce an excellent fit to these data. The extracted intercept of the hard pomeron suggests that when…
We consider the QCD scattering amplitudes at high energies sqrt{s} and fixed momentum transfers sqrt{-t} in the leading logarithmic approximation at a non-zero temperature T in the t-channel. It is shown that the BFKL Hamiltonian has the…
We show that it is possible to describe the effective Pomeron intercept using NLO BFKL evolution together with collinear improvements. In order to obtain a good description over the whole range of Q^2 we use a non-Abelian physical…
