Abstract

We compute dijet production in Deep Inelastic Scattering at low $x$ in the dipole formalism at next-to-eikonal accuracy. We calculate the contributions induced by single photon exchange of either longitudinal or transverse polarization. We include all types of corrections to the eikonal approximation in the gluon background field: (i) finite longitudinal width of the target, (ii) interaction of the quark-antiquark pair with the subleading (transverse) component of the background field and (iii) dynamics of the target which is encoded in the $z^-$-coordinate dependence of the background field. The final expressions for the dijet cross section are written as sum of a "generalized eikonal" contribution (where longitudinal momentum $p^+$ exchange between the target and the incoming quark-antiquark pair is allowed since the average $z^-$ dependence of the background field is kept) and explicit next-to-eikonal corrections that involve decorated dipole and quadrupole operators.
