Jet production in the CoLoRFulNNLO method: event shapes in electron-positron collisions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-10-19 v2

Abstract

We present the CoLoRFulNNLO method to compute higher order radiative corrections to jet cross sections in perturbative QCD. We apply our method to the computation of event shape observables in electron-positron collisions at NNLO accuracy and validate our code by comparing our predictions to previous results in the literature. We also calculate for the first time jet cone energy fraction at NNLO.
