| dc.description | Minijet production and transverse energy are important not only to understand hadronic collisions, but also for the interpretation of nucleus collisions at RHIC and LHC, where it determines the ``initial conditions'' for the flow in a hadronic soup or a plasma. For high collision energies and small qT (minijets) we enter the BFKL region. This implies that we must take into account off-shell parton cross sections and non-integrated structure functions (kT-factorization). It is also essential to avoid double counting, as one emitted parton is a participant in two different subcollisions. The LDC model, developed in Lund to describe DIS, provides a very convenient formalism to handle these problems. The result is a dynamical suppression of minijets for small qT. The resulting transverse energy flow is similar to the result from a ''naive'' calculation based on integrated structure functions with a qT cut-off around 2 GeV. | |
