Most recombination-style jet algorithms cluster soft gluons in a complex way. This leads to correlations in the soft gluon phase space and introduces logarithmic corrections to jet cross sections. The leading Abelian clustering logarithms…
We address the problem of resumming leading clustering logs in QCD jet observables defined using the k_t, CA and SISCone algorithms. We specifically choose the jet mass distribution as an example and calculate up to order(alpha_s^4)…
We compute the leading clustering (abelian non-global) logarithms, which arise in the distribution of non-global QCD observables when final-state partons are clustered using the $k_t$ jet algorithm, up to six loops in perturbation theory.…
We present a calculation of non-global logs at finite $\mathrm{N_c}$ for the hemisphere mass distribution in $e^+e^-\to 2$ jets at single log accuracy up to fifth order in the strong coupling constant. Our results suggest a possible…
Clustering algorithms build jets though the iterative application of single particle and pairwise metrics. This leads to phase space constraints that are extremely complicated beyond the lowest orders in perturbation theory, and in practice…
There has recently been much interest in analytical computations of jet mass distributions with and without vetos on additional jet activity [1-6]. An important issue affecting such calculations, particularly at next-to-leading logarithmic…
We consider jet-shape observables of the type proposed recently, where the shapes of one or more high-pT jets, produced in a multi-jet event with definite jet multiplicity, may be measured leaving other jets in the event unmeasured. We…
We determine the structure of both Abelian and non-Abelian non-global logarithms up to four loops for $e^+e^-$ processes in perturbative QCD, where final-state jets are defined using the Cambridge--Aachen (C/A) clustering algorithm. The…
Exploiting the substructure of jets observed at the LHC to better understand and interpret the experimental data has recently been a very active area of research. In this thesis we study the substructure of high-p$_T$ QCD jets, which form a…
We compute the fixed-order distribution of the non-global hemisphere mass observable in $e^+ e^-$ annihilation up to four loops for various sequential recombination jet algorithms. In particular, we focus on the $k_t$ and Cambridge/Aachen…
We extend the class of factorization theorems for non-global observables from fixed angular constraints to cross sections defined in terms of sequential jet clustering. The associated hard and soft functions depend not only on the…
We use a direct QCD approach to carry out the next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic (NNLL) resummation for observables groomed with the modified mass-drop tagger (Soft Drop $\beta=0$). We focus on observables which are additive given an…
Non-global QCD observables are characterised by a sensitivity to the full angular distribution of soft radiation emitted coherently in hard scattering processes. This complexity poses a challenge to their all-order resummation, that was…
We consider the energy flow into gaps between hard jets. It was previously believed that the accuracy of resummed predictions for such observables can be improved by employing the $k_t$ clustering procedure to define the gap energy in terms…
We revisit the azimuthal decorrelation $\delta\phi$ between a jet and a $Z$ boson produced at hadron colliders. Employing different recombination schemes for the jets leads to significantly different NLL-resummed predictions for the…
An outstanding problem in QCD and jet physics is the factorization and resummation of logarithms that arise due to phase space constraints, so-called non-global logarithms (NGLs). In this paper, we show that NGLs can be factorized and…
We present analytical calculations of the distribution of non-global jet shapes in Higgs/vector boson + jet production at hadron colliders. Within the eikonal-limit framework and implementing various jet algorithms, we compute the full…
Many collider observables suffer from non-global logarithms not captured by standard resummation techniques. Classic examples are the light-jet mass event shape in the limit of small mass and the related hemisphere soft function. We derive…
A factorization formalism for jet processes involving massive colored particles such as the top quark is developed, extending earlier results for the massless case. The factorization of soft emissions from the underlying hard process is…
