The perturbative Pomeron with NLO accuracy: Jet-Gap-Jet Observables

Abstract

We give an overview of the calculation of the forward jet vertex associated to a rapidity gap (coupling of a hard pomeron to a jet) in the Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) formalism at next-to-leading order (NLO). This result allows, together with the NLO non-forward gluon Green function, to perform NLO studies of jet production in diffractive events (Mueller-Tang dijets, as a well-known example)
