Description

We present a phenomenological study of 4-jet production, calculated within high-energy factorization, including both contributions from single-parton and double-parton scattering. High-energy factorization causes a momentum inbalance in the final state, allowing for the description of observables at tree-level that would require next-to-leading order precision in collinear factorization. The momentum inbalance is caused by non-vanishing transverse momentum components for the initial-state partons which thus are off-shell. We will clarify how to define gauge invariant scattering amplitudes with off-shell partons, and how to calculate them efficiently.
