The next-to-leading order (NLO) corrections to the BFKL equation in the BLM optimal scale setting are briefly discussed. A striking feature of the BLM approach is rather weak Q^2-dependence of the Pomeron intercept, which might indicate an…
QCD dynamics at small quark and gluon momentum fractions or large total energy, which plays a major role for HERA, the Tevatron, RHIC and LHC physics, is still poorly understood. For one of the simplest processes, namely bottom-antibottom…
In this paper we developed approach based on the BFKL evolution in $\ln\Lb Q^2\Rb$. We show that the simplest diffusion approximation with running QCD coupling is able to describe the HERA experimental data on the deep inelastic structure…
A method allowing for a direct comparison of data with theoretical predictions is proposed for forward jet production at HERA. It avoids the reconstruction of multi-parton contributions by expressing the experimental data directly as…

Some outstanding issues in high energy scattering are discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on recent developments concerning the next-to-leading log corrections to the BFKL equation.

I describe the underlying physics behind the BFKL resummation and discuss some of the recent ideas and results in this field. On the theoretical side I consider the formalism in the next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) approximation and the…
The QCD dipole picture allows to build an unified theoretical description -based on BFKL dynamics- of the total and diffractive nucleon structure functions measured at HERA. We use a four parameter fit to describe the 1994 H1 proton…
We propose a phenomenological study of the Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) approach applied to the data on the proton structure function $F_2$ measured at HERA in the small-$x_{Bj}$ region ($x_{Bj}<0.01$) and $Q^2$ in the range 5 to…
We present recent phenomenological studies, tailored on kinematic configurations typical of current and forthcoming analyses at the LHC, for two novel probe channels of the BFKL resummation of energy logarithms. Particular attention is…
Studies presented in the heavy flavours working group are summarized. Very recent results of measurements at the HERA, LHC, Tevatron, STAR, PHENIX, and BaBar experiments are reviewed and new developments in theory and phenomenology are…
The first very successful LHC running period has been finished. At 7 TeV centre-of-mass energy about 5/fb of data have been collected and at 8 TeV even 20/fb. Many detailed analyses of these data are still going on. The latest measurements…
We study the high energy behaviour of elastic scattering amplitudes within the leading logarithm approximation. In particular, we cast the amplitude in a form which allows us to study the internal dynamics of the BFKL Pomeron for general…
We review the work discussed and developed under the topic ``Resummation'' at Working Group 2 ``Multijet final states and energy flow'', of the HERA-LHC Workshop. We emphasise the role played by HERA observables in the development of…
A summary is given on the main aspects which were discussed by the working group. They include new results on the deep inelastic scattering structure functions $F_2, xF_3, F_L$ and $F_2^{c\bar{c}}$ and their parametrizations, the…
