Motivations and ideas behind hadron--hadron event shapes

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

We summarize the main motivations to study event shapes at hadron colliders. In addition we present classes of event shapes and show their complementary sensitivities to perturbative and non-perturbative effects, namely jet hadronization and underlying event.
