Abstract
We present the calculation of the impact factor for the γ(∗) → q \( \overline{q} \) g transition within Balitsky’s high energy operator expansion. We also rederive the impact factor for the γ(∗) → \( q\overline{q} \) transition within the same framework. These results provide the necessary building blocks for further phenomenological studies of inclusive diffractive deep inelastic scattering, as well as, for two and three jets diffractive production, which go beyond approximations discussed in the literature.
