Description
After a brief introduction on the peculiarities of QCD in the high-energy regime and the bFKL approach for its description, we proceed to the theoretical
analysis of virtual photon scattering.
Here, the crucial theoretical objects are the photon impact factors and the BFKL gluon Green’s func-
tion, which up to now are known in leading and
next-to-leading logarithmic approximation.
We improve the theoretical description of the virtual photon cross section by performing the renor-
malization group improved collinear resummation
of impact factors and Green’s function.
Our analysis is consistent with previous impact factor
calculations at NLO, apart from a new term proportional to CF that we find for the longitudinal
polarization.

Finally, we use the resummed cross section to compare with the LEP data
and with previous calculations.
