We investigate a modification of the $k_\perp$-clustering jet algorithm for hadron-hadron collisions, analogous to the ``Cambridge'' algorithm recently proposed for $e^+e^-$ annihilation, in which pairs of objects that are close in angle…
We compute the inclusive jet spectrum in the presence of a dense QCD medium by going beyond the single parton energy loss approximation. We show that higher-order corrections are important yielding large logarithmic contributions that must…
Jets with a large radius $R\gtrsim 1$ and grooming algorithms are widely used to fully capture the decay products of boosted heavy particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Unlike most discriminating variables used in such studies, the…
Jets constructed via clustering algorithms (e.g., anti-$k_T$, soft-drop) have been proposed for many precision measurements, such as the strong coupling $\alpha_s$ and the nucleon intrinsic dynamics. However, the theoretical accuracy is…
We discuss results from a recently proposed all-order description of hard, radiative corrections to certain multi-jet processes at hadron colliders. The description is based on obtaining an all-order estimate of the t-channel singularities…
We introduce a new jet-finding algorithm for a hadron collider based on maximizing a J_{E_T} function for all possible combinations of particles in an event. This function prefers a larger value of the jet transverse energy and a smaller…
We describe recent applications of the MLLA evolution equations to the calculation of mean multiplicities in quark and gluon jets and the higher moments of hadron and sub-jet multiplicity distributions in $e^+e^-$-annihilation as function…
A calculation of the $R^2$ corrections to the jet quenching parameter from AdS/CFT correspondence is presented. These corrections are related to curvature-squared corrections in the corresponding gravity dual. It is shown that the…
Recently, the moments of multiplicity distributions in e+e- annihilation and the ratios H_q (cumulant over factorial moments K_q/F_q) have been determined both for the hadronic final state and for jets at variable resolution. These ratios…
These proceedings present a brief overview of the main results on jet-modifications in heavy ion collisions at RHIC. In heavy ion collisions, jets are studied using single hadron spectra and di-hadron correlations with a high-\pt{} trigger…
Progress has been made on the calculation of \(R_{3}\), the three-jet rate in \(e^{+}e^{-}\) annihilation, in the \(k_\bot \) (Durham) scheme. Using the coherent branching formalism \cite{b,c,d}, an explicit expression for \(R_{3}\) is…
Calculations of radiative corrections to the top quark width are reviewed. QCD effects are discussed for $t-\bar t$ systems produced in $e^+e^-$ annihilation near the energy threshold.}
A study of perturbative QCD calculations combined with power corrections to model hadronisation effects is presented. The QCD predictions are fitted to differential distributions and mean values of event shape observables measured in e+e-…
The production of identified hadrons inside jets in $e^+ e^-$ annihilation allows for detailed studies of parton-to-hadron fragmentation functions in a clean environment. We compute hadron-in-jets production cross sections for $e^+e^- \to…
QCD one-loop corrections to the full gauge invariant set of electroweak diagrams describing the hadronic process $e^+ e^- \to u~\bar d~s~\bar c$ are computed. Four-jet shape variables for $WW$ events are studied at next-to-leading order and…
In this talk we discuss the calculation of the QCD corrections to parity-violating 3-jet observables in e^+e^- collisions, keeping the full quark mass dependence.
We present the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the production of a photon pair in association with one or two jets. This class of processes constitutes an important background for Higgs physics at the LHC. For the one jet process…
The measurement of the forward-backward asymmetries of heavy quarks provides one of the most precise determinations of $\sin^2\theta_W$ in $Z$ decays. We discuss in detail the one--loop QCD radiative corrections to these asymmetries.…
We attempt to deduce simple options of `jet quenching' phenomena in heavy-ion collisions at $\snn=5.5 \tev$ at the LHC from the present knowledge of leading-hadron suppression at RHIC energies. In light of the nuclear modification factor…
We study power corrections to the event shapes in $\e^+\e^--$annihilation in the two jets kinematical region, $e\ll 1$. We argue that for $e \sim \Lambda_{QCD}/Q$ all power corrections of the form $1/\lr{Qe}^n$ have to be taken into account…
