Confronting BFKL dynamics with experimental studies of Mueller-Navelet jets at the LHC

Abstract

The study of the production of Mueller-Navelet jets at hadron colliders, characterized as two forward jets separated by a large interval of rapidity, is known to be one of the best possible tests of the high energy dynamics of QCD. We analyze this process within a complete next-to-leading logarithm framework à la BFKL. In addition, we use the Brodsky-Lepage-Mackenzie procedure, here extended to the perturbative Regge dynamics, to fix the renormalization scale to its optimal value. The obtained results provide a very good description of the recent CMS data at the LHC for the azimuthal correlations of the jets.
