The triple pomeron interaction in the perturbative QCD

Abstract

The triple pomeron interaction is studied in the perturbative approach of BFKL-Bartels. At finite momentum transfers $\sqrt{-t}$ the contribution factorizes in the standard manner with a triple-pomeron vertex proportional to $1/\sqrt{-t}$. At $t=0$ the contribution is finite, although it grows faster with energy than for finite $t$ and does not factorize.
