High-colour pomerons with a running coupling constant in the Hartree-Fock approximation

Abstract

The Hartree-Fock approximation is applied to study the “high-colour pomerons” in the system of many reggeized gluons with a running QCD coupling constant. It is shown that, contrary to the fixed coupling case, the high-colour pomerons result in being supercritical, although with a smaller intercept than the multipomeron states.
