High-Energy Asymptotics of Photon-Photon Collisions in QCD
Abstract
The high-energy behaviour of the total cross section for highly virtual photons, as predicted by the BFKL equation at next-to-leading order in QCD, is presented. The NLO BFKL predictions, improved by BLM optimal scale setting, are in excellent agreement with recent OPAL and L3 data at CERN LEP2.
