Saturation in two-hard-scale processes at hadron colliders

Abstract

A study of saturation effects in two-hard-scale hadronic processes such as Mueller-Navelet jets is presented. The cross-sections are expressed in the dipole framework while saturation is implemented via an extention of the Golec-Biernat and Wusthoff model. The transition to saturation is found to be more abrupt than in gamma*-gamma* cross-sections. Observables with a potentially clear saturation signal are proposed.
