Analytical QCD and multiparticle production

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-11-23 v1

Abstract

We review the perturbative approach to multiparticle production in hard collision processes. It is investigated to what extent parton level analytical calculations at low momentum cut-off can reproduce experimental data on the hadronic final state. Systematic results are available for various observables with the next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy (the so-called modified leading logarithmic approximation - MLLA). We introduce the analytical formalism and then discuss recent applications concerning multiplicities, inclusive spectra, correlations and angular flows in multi-jet events. In various cases the perturbative picture is surprisingly successful, even for very soft particle production.
