On the low-x NLO evolution of 4 point colorless operators

The NLO evolution equations for quadrupole and double dipole operators have been obtained within the high energy operator expansion method. The corresponding quasi-conformal evolution equations for the composite operators were constructed

NLO evolution of 3-quark Wilson loop operator

It is well known that high-energy scattering of a meson from some hadronic target can be described by the interaction of that target with a color dipole formed by two Wilson lines corresponding to fast quark-antiquark pair. Moreover, the energy dependence of the scattering amplitude is governed by the evolution equation of this color dipole with respect to rapidity. Similarly, the energy dependence of scattering of a baryon can be described in terms of evolution of a three-Wilson-lines operator with respect to the rapidity of the Wilson lines. We calculate the evolution of the 3-quark Wilson loop operator in the next-to-leading order (NLO) and present a quasi-conformal evolution equation for a composite 3-Wilson-lines operator. We also obtain the linearized version of that evolution equation describing the amplitude of the odderon exchange at high energies

Towards a complete next-to-logarithmic description of forward exclusive diffractive dijet electroproduction at HERA: real corrections

We studied the $ep\rightarrow ep+2jets$ diffractive cross section with ZEUS phase space. Neglecting the $t$-channel momentum in the Born and gluon dipole impact factors, we calculated the corresponding contributions to the cross section differential in $\beta=\frac{Q^{2}}{Q^{2}+M_{2jets}^{2}}$ and the angle $\phi$ between the leptonic and hadronic planes. The gluon dipole contribution was obtained in the exclusive $k_{t}$-algorithm with the exclusive cut $y_{cut}=0.15$ in the small $y_{cut}$ approximation. In the collinear approximation we canceled singularities between real and virtual contributions to the $q\bar{q}$ dipole configuration, keeping the exact $y_{cut}$ dependency. We used the Golec-Biernat - W\"usthoff (GBW) parametrization for the dipole matrix element and linearized the double dipole contributions. The results give roughly $\frac{1}{2}$ of the observed cross section for small $\beta$ and coincides with it for large $\beta.$Comment: 40 pages, 7 figure

Impact factor for high-energy two and three jets diffractive production

We present the calculation of the impact factor for the gamma(*) -> q qb g transition within Balitsky's high energy operator expansion. We also rederive the impact factor for the gamma(*) -> q qb transition within the same framework. These results provide the necessary building blocks for further phenomenological studies of inclusive diffractive deep inelastic scattering as well as for two and three jets diffractive production which go beyond approximations discussed in the litterature.Comment: 27 pages, 2 figure

Impact Factor for Exclusive Diffractive Dijet Production with NLO Accuracy

Relying on the shockwave approach, we present the main steps of the computation of the impact factor for the exclusive diffractive photo- or electro- production of a forward dijet with NLO accuracy. We provide details of the cancellation mechanisms for all the divergences which appear in the intermediate results.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure; proceedings of "Diffraction 2016", International Workshop on Diffraction in High-Energy Physics, Acireale (Catania, Sicily), Sept. 2-8, 2016; to be published in the conference proceedings by AI
