Four-jet production in $e^+e^-$ annihilation at next-to-leading order

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

We present a partonic Monte Carlo event generator that can be used for calculating the group independent kinematical functions of any infrared safe four-jet observable at NLO accuracy. As an example, we calculate the differential distribution of the Π1\Pi_1 and Π4\Pi_4 Fox-Wolfram moments. We find large K factors (K >> 2). The effect of the radiative correction is to increase the overall normalization, but not to reduce the renormalization scale dependence significantly.
