Two-jet inclusive cross-sections in heavy-ion collisions in the perturbative QCD

In the framework of perturbative QCD, double inclusive cross-sections for high pt parton production in nucleus–nucleus collisions are computed with multiple rescattering taken into account. The induced long-range correlations between numbers of jets at forward and backward rapidities are found to reach 10–20% for light nuclei at and to be suppressed for heavy nuclei and LHC energies.
