Saturation and forward jets at HERA

Abstract

We analyse forward-jet production at HERA in the framework of the Golec-Biernat and Wusthoff saturation models. We obtain a good description of the forward jet cross sections measured by the H1 and ZEUS collaborations in the two-hard-scale region kT ~ Q >> Lambda_QCD with two different parametrisations with either significant or weak saturation effects. The weak saturation parametrization gives a scale compatible with the one found for the proton structure function F_2. We argue that Mueller-Navelet jets at the Tevatron and the LHC could help distinguishing between both options.
