Abstract
We investigate the effect of the resummation of collinear double logarithms in the Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) gluon Green function using the Monte Carlo event generator BFKLex. The resummed collinear terms in transverse momentum space were calculated by Sabio Vera [Nucl. Phys. B722, 65 (2005)] and correspond to the addition to the next-to-leading order BFKL kernel of a Bessel function of the first kind whose argument contains the strong coupling and a double logarithm of the ratio of the squared transverse momenta of the Reggeized gluons. We discuss how these additional terms improve the collinear convergence of the whole approach and reduce the asymptotic growth with energy of the cross sections. Taking advantage of the Monte Carlo implementation, we show how the new results reduce the diffusion of the gluon ladder into infrared and ultraviolet transverse momentum scales, while strongly affecting final state configurations by reducing the minijet multiplicity.
