摘要：In this talk we give a short review of forward jets and forward W-boson
production at hadron colliders, in view of the extraction of footprints of BFKL physics.
We argue that at Tevatron energies, dijet production at large rapidity intervals is still
subasymptotic with respect to the BFKL regime, thus the cross section is strongly dependent
on the various cuts applied in the experimental setup. In addition, the choice of
equal transverse momentum cuts on the tagging jets makes the cross section dependent
on large logarithms of non-BFKL origin, and thus may spoil the BFKL analysis. For
vector boson production in association with two jets, we argue that the con gurations
that are kinematically favoured tend to have the vector boson forward in rapidity. Thus
W + 2 jet production lends itself naturally to extensions to the high-energy limit.
