NLO corrections to the photon impact factor
Abstract
We review the program of the calculation of next-to-leading order corrections to the virtual photon impact factor. Following a brief introduction we present some technical aspects for the various contributions. Recently obtained results for transversely polarised virtual photons are discussed and an outline of how infrared divergences are cancelled is given. Implications of the subtraction of leading energy logarithms are discussed.
