The study of cross-sections in the threshold limit at next-to-leading power has been a subject of sustained interest for many years. We demonstrate the universality of leading logarithms at next-to-leading power for the production of…
Several important processes and analyses at the LHC are sensitive to higher-order perturbative corrections beyond what can currently be calculated at fixed order. One important class of logarithmic corrections are those which appear when…
We consider jet-shape observables of the type proposed recently, where the shapes of one or more high-pT jets, produced in a multi-jet event with definite jet multiplicity, may be measured leaving other jets in the event unmeasured. We…
The collimation of average multiplicity inside quark and gluon jets is investigated in perturbative QCD in the modified leading logarithmic approximation (MLLA). The role of higher order corrections accounting for energy conservation and…
We show that one-jettiness ($\tau_1$) in colour-singlet plus jet production suffers from super-leading logarithms starting at order $\alpha_{\mathrm s}^4 \ln(1/\tau_1)^6$ relative to the Born level. This is one logarithm more dominant than…
We calculate the subjet rates for jets produced in hadron collisions. The kt algorithm is used to define the jets and allows the theoretical calculation to sum both the leading and next-to-leading logarithms in the resolution variable,…
The recent discovery and resummation of a class of single-logarithmic effects (non-global logs), has a significant impact on several QCD observables ranging from the classic Sterman-Weinberg jet definition to currently studied event shapes…
Large logarithmic corrections in $\hat s/p_t^2$ lead to substantial variations in the perturbative predictions for inclusive $W$-plus-dijet processes at the Large Hadron Collider. This instability can be cured by summing the…
We investigate the QCD transverse-energy ($E_T$) flow distribution within an azimuthal region of phase space, defined by an angular interval $\Delta \phi$ on the plane transverse to a chosen jet axis. Vetoes on the resulting $E_T$ are…
This talk gives a brief introduction to open questions in jet physics and QCD which come to the fore in the high-luminosity regime characterizing the upcoming phase of the Large Hadron Collider and future hadron colliders.
Recent work in inter-jet energy flow has identified a class of leading logarithms previously not considered in the literature. These so-called non-global logarithms have been shown to have significant numerical impact on gaps-between-jets…
We propose the study of the inclusive production of two $\Lambda$ hyperons or a single $\Lambda$-particle in association with a jet, featuring high transverse momenta and large separation in rapidity, as a probe channel of the resummation…
The collimation of energy inside medium-modified jets is investigated in the leading logarithmic approximation of QCD. The Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi (DGLAP) evolution equations are slightly modified by introducing splitting…
We study dijet production in proton-proton collisions with a veto on the emission of a third jet in the rapidity region in between the two leading ones. We resum the leading logarithms in the ratio of the transverse momentum of the leading…
Near threshold, cross sections for the production of heavy particles are sensitive to large logarithmic terms, which must be resummed to all orders in perturbation theory. Current state-of-the art calculations for inclusive slepton pair…
In this letter we report on a calculation of W gamma gamma + jet production at next-to-leading order QCD. We include the leptonic decays of the W and take into account all off-shell and finite width effects. This is the first computation…
Central lead-lead collisions at the LHC energies may pose a particular challenge for jet identification as multiple jets are produced per each collision event. We simulate the jet evolution in central Pb-Pb events at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} =…
An excess of events with a rapidity gap between jets, over what would be expected from non-diffractive processes, has been observed at HERA. A process based on a perturbative QCD calculation of colour singlet exchange has been added to…
We consider the longitudinal momentum distribution of hadrons inside jets in proton-proton collisions. At partonic threshold large double logarithmic corrections arise which need to be resummed to all orders. We develop a factorization…
We consider the impact of the kt algorithm on energy flow into gaps between jets in any QCD hard process. While we confirm the observation that the kt clustering procedure considerably reduces the impact of non-global logarithms, we unearth…
