Abstract

Within the framework of Soft Collinear Effective Theory, we present calculations of semi-inclusive jet functions and fragmenting jet functions at next-to-leading order (NLO) for both quark- and gluon-initiated jets, for jet algorithms of JET(I)J_{E_T}^{(I)} and JET(II)J_{E_T}^{(II)} where one maximizes a suitable jet function. We demonstrate the consistency of the obtained results with the standard perturbative QCD calculations for JET(I)J_{E_T}^{(I)} algorithm, while the results for fragmenting jet functions with the JET(II)J_{E_T}^{(II)} algorithm are new. The renormalization group (RG) equation for both semi-inclusive jet functions and fragmenting jet functions are derived and shown to follow the time-like DGLAP evolution equations, independent of specific jet algorithms. The RG equation can be used to resum single logarithms of the jet size parameter β\beta for highly collimated jets in these algorithms where β1\beta \gg 1.
