Soft gluons away from jets: Distribution and correlation

Abstract

Recently, an exact conformal mapping between soft gluons emitted from jets at large angle in e +e --annihilation and those in the BFKL evolution of a high energy hadron has been proposed. We elucidate some remarkable aspects of this correspondence and use them to analytically compute the distribution and correlation of gluons in the interjet region. We also establish the timelike counterpart of Mueller's dipole model and discuss the resulting linear and nonlinear evolution equations. © SISSA 2009.
