Factorization for high-energy scattering

Ian Balitsky

Abstract

I demonstrate that the amplitude of the high-energy scattering can be factorized in a product of two independent functional integrals over "fast" and "slow" fields which interact by means of Wilson-line operators -- gauge factors ordered along the straight lines.
