High energy QCD at NLO: from light-cone wave function to JIMWLK evolution

Abstract: Soft components of the light cone wave-function of a fast moving projectile hadron is computed in perturbation theory to the third order in QCD coupling constant. At this order, the Fock space of the soft modes consists of one-gluon, two-gluon, and a quark-antiquark states. The hard component of the wave-function acts as a non-Abelian background field for the soft modes and is represented by a valence charge distribution that accounts for non-linear density effects in the projectile. When scattered off a dense… Show more

“…The O(α 2 s ) correction in eq. (3.2) has been recently determined by three groups [52][53][54][55][56][57]. In the following, however, we will need only the leading-order dimensionally-regulated kernel K ij;0 , which turns out to admit a simple, dimension-independent expression in momentum space (see ref.…”

“…Gluon emissions from the dipole occur like in the vacuum and non-linear effects exclusively refer to multiple scattering. This leads to the Balitsky hierarchy (and the BK equation), currently known to NLO accuracy [8][9][10][11][12]. Since our purpose in this work is to go beyond LO accuracy, we systematically use the dipole frame in what follows.…”

“…Derived via systematic approximations within perturbative QCD, the Colour Glass Condensate (CGC) effective theory [1][2][3][4][5] is a powerful framework for computing high-energy processes in the presence of nonlinear effects associated with high parton densities. There are intense ongoing efforts towards extending this effective theory to next-to-leading order (NLO) accuracy, as required by realistic applications to phenomenology [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. These efforts refer both to the Balitsky-JIMWLK equations [20][21][22][23][24][25][26], which govern the high-energy evolution of the scattering amplitudes, and to the impact factors, which represent cross-sections at relatively low energy.…”

“…Computations of higher order corrections to the BK equations followed in short order [28][29][30] and specific prescriptions for the running coupling following from these studies were implemented [31] in phenomenological studies. More recently, NLO computations of multi-point Wilson line correlators, or equivalently, the NLO JIMWLK Hamiltonian have become available [32][33][34][35][36] and next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) computations of BK and JIMWLK are underway [37,38].…”

“…The weight functional W N LLx [ρ A ] in Eq. (13) can be obtained by adapting extant results for LO and NLO(≡O(α 2 S )) JIMWLK [33,35,36,86,87] and BK [28,29,32] evolution into our approach. Thus to obtain results for photon+dijet production up to O(α 3 S ln(Λ − 1 /Λ − 0 )) accuracy, it is sufficient to compute the NLO impact factor dσ jet;finite…”
