Abstract
The production in high-energy hadron collisions of a pair of jets with large rapidity separation is studied in an improved Balitskii-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) formalism. By recasting the analytic solution of the BFKL equation as an explicit order-by-order sum over emitted gluons, the effects of phase space constraints and the running coupling are studied. Particular attention is paid to the azimuthal angle decorrelation of the jet pair. The inclusion of subleading effects significantly improves the agreement between the theoretical predictions and recent preliminary measurements from the D0 Collaboration.
