A Monte Carlo Solution to the BFKL Equation

Abstract

A simple solution to the BFKL equation is obtained as a series in the number of real gluons emitted with transverse momentum greater than some small cutoff $\mu$. This solution reveals physics inside the BFKL ladder which is hidden in the standard inclusive solution, and lends itself to a straightforward Monte Carlo implementation. With this approach one can explore new useful physical observables, which are shown to be independent of the cutoff $\mu$. In addition, this approach allows the imposition of kinematic constraints (such as energy conservation) which are important at finite energies. The distribution of $\sum E_{\perp }$ of particles in a central rapidity bin between two widely-spaced jets is presented as an example.
