摘要：In this talk we give a short review of forward jets and forward W-boson production at hadron colliders, in view of the extraction of footprints of BFKL physics. We argue that at Tevatron energies, dijet production at large rapidity intervals is still subasymptotic with respect to the BFKL regime, thus the cross section is strongly dependent on the various cuts applied in the experimental setup. In addition, the choice of equal transverse momentum cuts on the tagging jets makes the cross section dependent on large logarithms of non-BFKL origin, and thus may spoil the BFKL analysis. For vector boson production in association with two jets, we argue that the congurations that are kinematically favoured tend to have the vector boson forward in rapidity. Thus W + 2 jet production lends itself naturally to extensions to the high-energy limit.
