The pomeron-pomeron interaction in the perturbative QCD
  The pomeron-pomeron interaction is studied in the perturbative approach of BFKL-Bartels. The total pomeron-pomeron cross-section is proportional to $\alpha_{s}^{4}s^{\Delta}/\sqrt {t_{1}t_{2}}$ where $\sqrt{s}$ is the c.m. energy and $t_{1,2}$ are the virtualities of the colliding pomerons. Upon calculating the coefficient the cross-section is found to be of the order 2.2 mb at $\sqrt{s}= 6$ TeV and $\sqrt{-t_{1}}\sim\sqrt{-t_{2}}\sim 1$ GeV/c.
