Foundations of Perturbative QCD
TLDR
In this paper, a systematic treatment of perturbative QCD is given, giving an accurate account of the concepts, theorems and their justification, giving strong motivations for the methods.Abstract:
The most non-trivial of the established microscopic theories of physics is QCD: the theory of the strong interaction. A critical link between theory and experiment is provided by the methods of perturbative QCD, notably the well-known factorization theorems. Giving an accurate account of the concepts, theorems and their justification, this book is a systematic treatment of perturbative QCD. As well as giving a mathematical treatment, the book relates the concepts to experimental data, giving strong motivations for the methods. It also examines in detail transverse-momentum-dependent parton densities, an increasingly important subject not normally treated in other books. Ideal for graduate students starting their work in high-energy physics, it will also interest experienced researchers wanting a clear account of the subject.read more

Structure constants of twist-two light-ray operators in the triple Regge limit
Ian Balitsky,Ian Balitsky +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the structure constants of twist-two light-ray operators with spin j in the BFKL limit g2 → 0, j → 1 and $$ \frac{g^2}{j-1} $$ ∼ 1 are found from the calculation of the three-point correlator of twist two light-rays operators in the triple Regge limit.

Factorization and resummation for transverse thrust
TL;DR: In this article, the transverse thrust in the framework of Soft Collinear Effective Theory is analyzed and a factorized expression for the cross section that permits resummation of terms enhanced in the dijet limit to arbitrary accuracy is obtained.
