Nonlinear k_t factorisation: recent progress and perspectives

Abstract

Hard scattering in a strongly absorptive regime requires a novel nonlinear k_t -- factorization. Here we discuss two recent developments: firstly the evaluation of radiative corrections to single particle spectra, and secondly an extension of the formalism to address topological cross sections and unitarity cutting rules.
