We present a QCD analysis of the cumulative out-of-event-plane momentum distribution in DIS process with emission of high p_t jets. We derive the all-order resummed result to next-to-leading accuracy and estimate the leading power…
Several preliminary QCD results from e+e- interactions at LEP are reported. These include studies of event shape variables, which are used to determine alpha_s and for studies of the validity of power corrections. Further, a study of color…

This article reviews recent advances in our understanding of the experimental aspects of jet-quenching and correlations in relativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC. Emphasis is put on correlation measurements, namely jet-like…
The jet shape is a simple measure of how widely a jet's energy is spread. At present jet shape distributions have only been calculated to leading order in perturbative QCD. In this paper we consider how much these predictions should be…
We introduce a jet shape observable defined for an ensemble of jets in terms of two-particle angular correlations and a resolution parameter R. This quantity is infrared and collinear safe and can be interpreted as a scaling exponent for…

In this talk, we describe the recent progress on the inclusion of mixed QCD-QED corrections for collider observables. In particular, we developed a formalism to extend $q_T$-resummation to deal with simultaneous emission of gluons and…

In this thesis, we develop resummation algorithms suitable for perturbative QCD. In the first part, we propose a resummation technique applicable to the Regge limit. We develop a new systematic procedure for this limit in perturbative QCD…
A quantity that promises to reveal important information on perturbative and non-perturbative QCD dynamics is the azimuthal decorrelation between jets in different hard processes. In order to access this information fixed-order NLO…
Event shapes have long been used to extract information about hadronic final states and the properties of QCD, such as particle spin and the running coupling. Recently, a family of event shapes, the angularities, has been introduced that…
We investigate angular correlations in multi-jet final states at high-energy colliders and discuss their sensitivity to initial-state showering effects, including QCD coherence and corrections to collinear ordering.
Recent measurements of QCD interactions involving large momentum transfers are reviewed. The status of measurements of the strong coupling constant is summarised. Recent developments in the measurement and interpretation of deep inelastic…
Jet quenching in heavy ion collisions and in particular the sub-structure of quenched jets are promising tools for investigating the microscopic processes underlying jet quenching and the background medium's response to energy and momentum…

Quantum Chromodynamics predicts radiative terms which, at low transverse momentum of an observed multi-particle system, can be large enough to threaten the legitimacy of a fixed-order perturbative treatment. We present a subtraction-style…
