Abstract

We present a framework that describes the energy distribution of subjets of radius rr within a jet of radius RR. We consider both an inclusive sample of subjets as well as subjets centered around a predetermined axis, from which the jet shape can be obtained. For rRr \ll R we factorize the physics at angular scales rr and RR to resum the logarithms of r/Rr/R. For central subjets, we consider both the standard jet axis and the winner-take-all axis, which involve double and single logarithms of r/Rr/R, respectively. All relevant one-loop matching coefficients are given, and an inconsistency in some previous results for cone jets is resolved. Our results for the standard jet shape differ from previous calculations at next-to-leading logarithmic order, because we account for the recoil of the standard jet axis due to soft radiation. Numerical results are presented for an inclusive subjet sample for ppjet+Xpp \to {\rm jet}+X at next-to-leading order plus leading logarithmic order.
