| Summary: | Abstract The associated vector meson + jet production in photon-induced interactions at the LHC is investigated and predictions for the cross-sections are derived considering the NLO corrections to the BFKL kernel. We explore the possibility that in a near future the FOCAL detector could be used to measure the jet at forward rapidities, with the associated meson being measured by a central or forward detector, and estimate the rapidity distributions for the $$\rho $$ ρ + jet and $$J/\Psi $$ J / Ψ + jet photoproduction in pp, Pbp and PbPb collisions. We demonstrate that the associated cross-sections are non-negligible and that a future experimental analysis can be useful to constrain the description of the BFKL kernel and improve our understanding of the QCD dynamics. |
