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…
Hadronic final states in e+e- annihilitions at centre-of-mass energies from 14GeV up to 189GeV are studied in order to test recent predictions for power corrections to the mean values as well as the distributions of event shape variables.
We have investigated the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) corrections to inclusive hadron production in e^+e^- annihilation and the related parton fragmentation distributions, the `time-like' counterparts of the `space-like'…
We present the results of QCD analysis of out-of-event-plane momentum distribution in 3-jet e+e- annihilation events. We consider the all-order resummed perturbative prediction and the leading power suppressed non-perturbative corrections…
Precision studies of QCD at $e^+e^-$ colliders are based on measurements of event shapes and jet rates. To match the high experimental accuracy, theoretical predictions to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD are needed for a…
It is widely believed that hadronisation leads to 1/Q corrections to e+e- event shapes. We show that there are further corrections, proportional to (ln Q)^A/Q with A=4C_A/beta_0~=1.6, associated with hadron masses and whose relative…
Recent work on the theme of power corrections in perturbative QCD is briefly reviewed, with an emphasis on event shapes in e+ e- annihilation. The factorization of soft gluon effects is the main tool: it leads to resummation, and thus…

The heavy jet mass distribution in e+e- collisions is computed to next-to-next-to-next-to leading logarithmic (NNNLL) and next-to-next-to leading fixed order accuracy (NNLO). The singular terms predicted from the resummed distribution are…
The determination of alpha_s(M_Z^2) using O(alpha_s^2) calculations of hadronic event observables in e+e- annihilation is reviewed. The large scatter among alpha_s(M_Z^2) values determined from different observables may be interpreted as…
In this work we calculate for the first time the next-to-next-to leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections to identified hadron production at hadron colliders. The inclusion of the NNLO correction has an important impact on all observables…
We compute the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections to the thrust distribution in electron-positron annihilation. The corrections turn out to be sizable, enhancing the previously known next-to-leading order prediction by…
Fragmentation of heavy quarks into heavy-flavoured hadrons receives both perturbative and non-perturbative contributions. We consider perturbative QCD corrections to heavy quark production in $e^+e^-$ collisions to next-to-next-to-leading…

The size of non-perturbative corrections to event shape observables is predicted to fall like a power of the inverse centre of mass energy. These power corrections are investigated for different observables from e+e-annihilation and…
