Abstract

We present an analytic O(αs)\mathcal O(\alpha_s) calculation of cross sections in deep inelastic scattering (DIS) dependent on an event shape, 1-jettiness, that probes final states with one jet plus initial state radiation. This is the first entirely analytic calculation for a DIS event shape cross section at this order. We present results for the differential and cumulative 1-jettiness cross sections, and express both in terms of structure functions dependent not only on the usual DIS variables xx, Q2Q^2 but also on the 1-jettiness τ\tau. Combined with previous results for log resummation, predictions are obtained over the entire range of the 1-jettiness distribution.
