Abstract

The first quantum correction is calculated for 2 gluons→ n gluons in the presence of an instanton. The correction is found to be negative and proportional to αsϱ 2 with ϱ the instanton size. A physical picture is given both for the semi-classical scattering and for the first quantum corrections.
