Next-to-leading corrections to the BFKL equation from gluon and quark production Original Research Article

The gluon and quark production in the quasi-multi-Regge kinematics for the final particles is considered. The differential cross section for different helicity states is calculated. Dimensional regularization is used to remove the infrared divergencies in the corresponding contributions to the BFKL equation. The other next-to-leading corrections are discussed.
