Using Soft-Collinear Effective Theory we derive factorization formulae for semi-inclusive processes where a light hadron h fragments from a jet whose invariant mass is measured. Our analysis yields a novel "fragmenting jet function"…
We revisit the derivation of collinear factorization for Deep Inelastic Scattering at sub-asymptotic values of the four momentum transfer squared, where the masses of the particles participating in the interaction cannot be neglected. By…

In this paper, using soft-collinear effective theory we study the invariant mass distribution for dijet production in $e^+e^-$-annihilation. Near threshold, where the dijet takes most of the energy, there arise the large threshold…
We re-examine observables with rapidity divergences in the context of a formulation of Soft-Collinear Effective Theory in which infrared degrees of freedom are not explicitly separated into modes. We consider the Sudakov form factor with a…
We prove a factorization theorem for heavy-to-light form factors. Our result differs in several important ways from previous proposals. A proper separation of scales gives hard kernels that are free of endpoint singularities. A general…
