Abstract
We consider within QCD collinear factorization the process , where two forward high- jets are produced with a large separation in rapidity (Mueller-Navelet jets). In this case the (calculable) hard part of the reaction receives large higher-order corrections , which can be accounted for in the BFKL approach with next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, including contributions . We calculate several observables related with this process, using the next-to-leading order jet vertices, recently calculated in the approximation of small aperture of the jet cone in the pseudorapidity-azimuthal angle plane.
