The $N$-jettiness subtraction has proven to be an efficient method to perform differential QCD next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) calculations in the last few years. One important ingredient of this method is the NNLO soft function. We…
Recently, we have presented the result for the zero-jettiness soft function at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N3LO) in perturbative QCD [arXiv:2409.11042], without providing technical details of the calculation. The goal of this…
We calculate the soft function for the global event variable 1-jettiness at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD. We focus specifically on the non-Abelian contribution, which, unlike the Abelian part, is not determined by the…
We compute the N-jettiness soft function in hadronic collisions to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in the strong-coupling expansion. Our calculation is based on an extension of the SoftSERVE framework to soft functions that involve an…
We present a new method to compute the soft function for the $N$-Jettiness variable for arbitrary $N$ at high perturbative orders in QCD. It is based on the observation that the most singular part of the soft function, the dipole…
