The High Energy Limit of QCD: BFKL Cross Sections

Abstract

In this contribution we describe in some detail different aspects of the construction of BFKL cross sections. We focus on several effects which are relevant at next-to-leading order. In particular, we describe QCD coherence in DIS final states, improvements of the collinear region in multi-Regge kinematics, inclusive jet production at next-to-leading order, and azimuthal angle decorrelations of Mueller-Navelet jets at hadron colliders.
