Beam and jet functions in Soft-Collinear Effective Theory describe collinear initial- and final-state radiation (jets), and enter in factorization theorems for N-jet production, the Higgs pT spectrum, etc. We show that they may directly be…
We study the resummation of the $0$-jettiness resolution variable $\mathcal{T}_0$ for the top-quark pair production process in hadronic collisions. Starting from an effective theory framework we derive a factorisation formula for this…
We compute the inclusive jet function for boosted heavy quarks to $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_s^3)$. The jet function is defined and calculated in the framework of boosted Heavy-Quark Effective Theory (bHQET). It describes the effect of radiation…
We present the high-precision result for the zero-jettiness soft function at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N3LO) in perturbative QCD. At this perturbative order, the soft function is the last missing ingredient required for the…
Energy correlators have recently come to the forefront of jet substructure studies at colliders due to their remarkable properties: they naturally separate physics at different scales, are robust to contamination from soft radiation, and…
Heavy quarks created in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions are mostly produced in hard QCD processes during the early stages of the reaction. They interact with the hot and cold nuclear matter throughout the evolution of the medium via…
We demonstrate that a Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) with a dilute admixture of heavy quarks has, in general, a lower speed of sound than a "pure" QGP without effects from heavy flavors. The change in the speed of sound is sensitive to the…
