Virtual photon scattering in $e^+e^-$ collisions can result in events with the electron-positron pair produced at large rapidity separation in association with hadrons. The BFKL equation resums large logarithms that dominate the cross…

High-energy particles traversing a medium experience modified dispersion. In the Quark-Gluon Plasma, such dispersion affects jet propagation and transport properties and should be determined better. Above $\sim 2T_c$ we expect strongly…
