W-boson production with associated jets at large rapidities

We analyse W-boson production at hadron colliders in association with one o r two jets, both with the exact kinematics and in the high-energy limit. We argue that the configurations that are kinematically favoured tend to have the W-boson forward in rapidity. Thus W-boson production in association wi th jets lends itself naturally to extensions to the high-energy limit, whic h we examine both at leading order and by resumming higher-order correction s through the BFKL theory.
