Abstract
The production of forward jets of transverse momentum (PT)(j) approxim ate to Q and large momentum fraction x(jet) >> x probes the onset of B alitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) dynamics at DESY HERA. A full O(al pha(s)(2)) calculation of the inclusive forward jet cross section is p resented and compared to the expected BFKL cross section. The kinemati cal region populated by these events and the scale dependence of the f ixed order perturbative QCD cross sections are discussed.
