An introduction to the perturbative QCD pomeron and to jet physics at large rapidities

Abstract

In these lectures we discuss the Balitsky, Fadin, Kuraev, and Lipatov (BFKL) theory, which resums the leading logarithmic contributions to the radiative corrections to parton scattering in the high-energy limit, and we apply it to hadronic two-jet production at large rapidity intervals.
