Abstract
The resummation of the “Glauber series” in non-global LHC observables is extended to processes with gluons in the initial state. This series simultaneously incorporates large double-logarithmic corrections, the so-called “super-leading logarithms”, together with higher-order exchanges of pairs of Glauber gluons associated with the large numerical factor (iπ)2. On a technical level, the main part of this work is devoted to the systematic reduction of the appearing color traces and construction of basis structures, which consist of thirteen elements for gg and eleven elements for qg scattering. Numerical estimates for wide-angle gap-between-jet cross sections at the parton level show that, in particular for gg scattering at relatively small vetoes Q0, the contribution involving four Glauber exchanges gives a sizeable correction and should not be neglected.
