We consider the production of heavy quark jets at the $Z$-pole at the next-to-leading order (NLO) using the {\it Cambridge jet-algorithm}. We study the effects of the quark mass in two- and three-jet observables and the uncertainty due to…
We present for the first time resummed predictions at NLO + NLL' accuracy for the Durham jet-resolution scales $y_{n,n+1}$ in multijet production in $e^+e^-$ collisions. Results are obtained using an implementation of the well known CAESAR…
Perturbative cross-sections in QCD are beset by logarithms of kinematic invariants, whose arguments vanish when heavy particles are produced near threshold. Contributions of this type often need to be summed to all orders in the coupling,…
We present a method for studying the detection of jets in high energy hadronic collisions using multiplicity detector in forward rapidities. Such a study enhances the physics scope of multiplicity detectors at forward rapidities in LHC. At…
We describe a constructive procedure to separate overlapping infrared divergences in multi-loop integrals. Working with a parametric representation in D=4-2*epsilon dimensions, adequate subtractions lead to a Laurent series in epsilon,…
We show how the resummation of large logarithms can be incorporated into the method of effective charges. As an example, we apply this approach to the event shape variables thrust and heavy jet mass in e+e- annihilation. We find that,…
Multi-jet rates at hadron colliders provide a unique possibility for probing Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the theory of strong interactions. By comparing theory predictions with collider data, one can directly test perturbative QCD,…
The next-to-leading order accuracy for MC@NLO results exclusive in J light jets is achieved if the computation is based on matrix elements that feature J and J+1 QCD partons. The simultaneous prediction of observables which are exclusive in…
We analyze the reliability of several techniques for computing jet and hadron spectra at different collision energies. This is relevant for discovering energy loss in the upcoming oxygen-oxygen (OO) run at the LHC, for which a reference pp…
A search for new phenomena in final states characterized by high jet multiplicity, an isolated lepton (electron or muon) and either zero or at least three $b$-tagged jets is presented. The search uses 36.1 fb$^{-1}$ of $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV…
We extend the lowest-order matching of tree-level matrix elements with parton showers to give a complete description at the next higher perturbative accuracy in alpha_s at both small and large jet resolutions, which has not been achieved so…
Recent studies have highlighted the potential of jet substructure techniques to identify the hadronic decays of boosted heavy particles. These studies all rely upon the assumption that the internal substructure of jets generated by QCD…
The currently predicted increase in computational demand for the upcoming High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) event reconstruction, and in particular jet clustering, is bound to challenge present day computing resources, becoming…
We suggest a universal QCD-motivated expression for the Polyakov-KNO multiplicity distributions of hadrons in jets and compare it with data from $e^+e^-$ annihilation experiments. The moments and overall shape of the distributions in full…
The Local Unitarity (LU) formalism provides a constructive, integrand-level realisation of the Kinoshita-Lee-Nauenberg (KLN) theorem, by combining loop and phase-space integrals appearing in scattering cross-sections in such a way that…
Forward-backward multiplicity correlations in symmetric collisions are calculated independently of the detailed form of the corresponding multiplicity distribution. Applications of these calculations to e+e- annihilation and ppbar…
High-multiplicity pp collisions exhibit features, traditionally associated with nuclear effects. Coherence motivates to treat high-multiplicity pp, pA and AA collisions on an equal footing. We rely on the phenomenological parametrization…
We extend the threshold resummation of the large logarithms $\ln x$ which appear in factorization formulas for exclusive $B$ meson decays, $x$ being a spectator momentum fraction, to the next-to-leading-logarithm (NLL) accuracy. It is shown…
Among the most important results from the Run-1 and Run-2 of the LHC is the observation of an enhanced production of (multi-)strange to non-strange hadron yields, gradually rising from low-multiplicity to high-multiplicity pp and p--Pb…
After inserting the heavy quark mass dependence into QCD partonic evolution equations, we determine the mean charged hadron multiplicity of jets produced in high energy collisions. We thereby extend the so-called dead cone effect to the…
