Abstract

We compute the primary Lund plane density for jets initiated by a massive (bb) quark to single logarithmic accuracy in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). In order to capture mass effects, we consider quasi-collinear factorisation and we include contributions from the running of the QCD coupling and from collinear evolution, in a variable flavour-number scheme. Furthermore, the resummation of soft logarithms, including clustering effects, is performed numerically, keeping the full dependence on the bb-quark mass. While our all-order results can be applied to both hadron and lepton colliders, we present, as first phenomenological application, the resummed calculation of the Lund plane density in e+ee^+e^- collisions at s=MZ\sqrt{s}=M_Z, matched to tree-level matrix elements.
