Mueller-Navelet jets in high-energy hadron collisions    [PDF]

We consider within QCD collinear factorization the process $p+p\to {\rm jet} +{\rm jet} +X$, where two forward high-$p_T$ jets are produced with a large separation in rapidity $\Delta y$ (Mueller-Navelet jets [1]). The hard part of the reaction receives large higher-order corrections $\sim \alpha^n_s (\Delta y)^n$, which can be accounted for in the BFKL approach. We calculate cross section and azimuthal decorrelation, using the next-to-leading order jet vertices, in the small-cone approximation [2].
