Large-Q_T W-boson production at the Tevatron
The production of W bosons at large transverse momentum at the Tevatron is
dominated by soft-gluon corrections. In this talk we present a calculation of
these corrections at next-to-next-to-leading order. The corrections enhance the
transverse momentum distribution of the W while reducing the scale dependence.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, presented at DPF04, Riverside, California, August

Numerical tools for the theoretical study of QCD at small x
In this contribution we present the status of two numerical tools designed to
study the small x limit of QCD. The first one is a Monte Carlo simulation of
the BFKL evolution equation. In design of this approach emphasis has been
placed on exploiting the linear behaviour that many variants of the BFKL
evolution possess. This allows us to design a procedure which can be used to
study theoretical and phenomenological aspects of different kernels. The second
one is a semi-analytic approach to study Lipatov's effective action which
describes Reggeon interactions. The study of the properties of this action is
very complicated and we propose using a computational tool to handle the large
amount of non--local vertices and the derivation of higher order corrections.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures. International Workshop on Diffraction in

BFKL Effects in Azimuthal Angle Correlations of Forward Jets
The azimuthal angle correlation of Mueller-Navelet jets at hadron colliders
is studied in the NLO BFKL formalism. We highlight the need of collinear
improvements in the kernel to obtain good convergence properties and we obtain
better fits for the Tevatron data than at LO accuracy. We also estimate these
correlations for larger rapidity differences available at the LHC.Comment: Presented at DIS 2007: 15th International Workshop on Deep-Inelastic

The High Energy Radiation Pattern from BFKLex
We discuss a recent study on high-energy jet production in the multi-Regge
limit done with the use of the Monte Carlo event generator BFKLex which
includes collinear improvements in the form of double-log contributions. We
will show results for the average transverse momentum and azimuthal angle of
the final state jets when at least one of them is very forward in rapidity and
another one is very backward. We also discuss the introduction of a new
observable which accounts for the average rapidity ratio among subsequent
emissions.Comment: 6 pages, presented by G. Chachamis at the XXIV International Workshop
