Factorization for forward dijets in dilute-dense collisions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-12-01 v1

Abstract

We propose a factorization formula for the cross section for forward dijet production in dilute-dense collisions. The new formula is applicable for an arbitrary value of the momentum imbalance of the two jets, ktk_t. It unifies the previously derived transverse momentum dependent (TMD) factorization for small ktk_t (of the order of the saturation scale), and the High Energy Factorization (HEF) for large ktk_t (of the order of the momentum of the jets). We extend the previous TMD formula, first to finite NcN_c, and then to all ranges of ktk_t by including off-shell matrix elements. We present previously unpublished analytical expressions for the TMD gluon distributions in the Golec-Biernat-Wusthoff model, and their perturbative behaviour in the McLerran-Venugopalan model. In addition, we show directly the equivalence of the HEF and the color glass condensate formulae in the dilute target approximation.
