A Note on `Hot Spot' Hunting in Deep-Inelastic Scattering

Abstract

We consider the inclusive cross section for jet production with large transverse momentum in deep-inelastic scattering. This process has been proposed as a probe of small-x physics, particularly the measurement of `hot spots' inside the proton. We present a numerical calculation of this process, taking into account a larger phase space. The theoretical reliability as well as phenomenological uncertainties of the calculation are discussed.
