On Regge kinematics in SCET

Abstract

We discuss the kinematics of the particles that make up a Reggeon in field theory, using the terminology of the Soft Collinear Effective Theory (SCET). Reggeization sums a series of strongly-ordered collinear emissions resulting in an overall Reggeon exchange that falls in the Glauber or Coulomb kinematic region. This is an extremely multi-scale problem and appears to fall outside of the usual organizing scheme of SCET.
