title: Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov Predictions for Inclusive Three Jet Production at the LHC.
abstract: We define new observables sensitive to Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) dynamics in the context of multijet production at the Large Hadron Collider. We propose the study of the inclusive production of three jets well separated in rapidity from each other, with two of them being very forward. We show that the tagging of a third jet in the central region of rapidity allows for a very strong test of the BFKL formalism. In particular, we have studied two projections on azimuthal angles for the differential cross section which allow for the definition of many different observables whose behavior when varying the p(t) and rapidity of the central jet is a distinct signal of BFKL dynamics. In order to reduce the theoretical uncertainties and influence of higher order corrections, we propose the study of ratios of correlation functions of products of cosines of azimuthal angle differences among the tagged jets.
