Azimuthal Dependence of Forward-Jet Production in DIS in the High-Energy Limit

Abstract

As a signal for the BFKL Pomeron in small-x deep inelastic $ep$ scattering, we calculate the azimuthal dependence of the inclusive cross section of forward jets relative to the outgoing electron. For not very large differences in rapidity between the current jet and the forward jet the cross section peaks at $\pi /2$. For increasing rapidity BFKL dynamics predicts a decorrelation in the azimuthal dependence between the electron and the forward jet.
