Clustering logarithms up to six loops

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2025-06-18 v2

Abstract

We compute the leading clustering (abelian non-global) logarithms, which arise in the distribution of non-global QCD observables when final-state partons are clustered using the ktk_t jet algorithm, up to six loops in perturbation theory. Our calculations are based on the recently introduced formula for the analytic structure of ktk_t clustering [1]. These logarithms exhibit a pattern of exponentiation and are subsequently resummed into an exponential form. We compare this resummed result with all-orders numerical calculations.
