BFKL predictions at small x from k_T and collinear factorization viewpoints

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-09-01 v1

Abstract

Hard scattering processes involving hadrons at small xx are described by a kTk_T-factorization formula driven by a BFKL gluon. We explore the equivalence of this description to a collinear-factorization approach in which the anomalous dimensions γgg\gamma_{gg} and γqg/αS\gamma_{qg}/\alpha_S are expressed as power series in αSlog(1/x)\alpha_S \log (1/x), or to be precise αS/ω\alpha_S/\omega where ω\omega is the moment index. In particular we confront the collinear-factorization expansion with that extracted from the BFKL approach with running coupling included.
