Errors in the published version of the paper are corrected, and new figures are provided.
The revised version contains two additional references i.e. [13], [14] w.r.t. to the original paper. Furthermore Eq. (33) in [11] at the end of the paragraph below (3.17) must be Eq. (33) in [10]. Misprints in the list of references are…
We calculate the cross section for $e^+ e^-$ annihilation into three jets for massive quarks at next-to-leading order in perturbative QCD, both on and off the $Z$ resonance. Our computation allows the implementation of any jet clustering…
Jet cross sections in deeply inelastic scattering in the case of transverse photon exchange for the production of (1+1) and (2+1) jets are calculated in next-to-leading order QCD (here the `+1' stands for the target remnant jet, which is…
We present the next-to-leading order (O(alpha_s^3)) perturbative QCD predictions for e^+e^- annihilation into four jets. A previous calculation omitted the O(alpha_s^3) terms suppressed by one or more powers of 1/N_c^2, where N_c is the…
We report on the next-to-leading order QCD calculation for e+ e- --> 4 jets. We explain some modern techniques which have been used to calculate the one-loop amplitudes efficiently. We further report on the general purpose numerical program…
We correct several errors in Phys. Rev. D 66, 094011 (2002). [arXiv:hep-ph/0205210].
Over the years, many jet clustering algorithms have been proposed for the analysis of hadronic final states in $e^+e^-$ annihilations. These have somewhat different emphasis and are therefore more or less suited for various applications. We…
We present in detail a calculation of the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the process $e^+e^-\to 3$ jets with massive quarks. To isolate the soft and collinear divergencies of the four parton matrix elements, we modify the phase…
We calculate the rate for $e^+e^-$ annihilation into four jets at next-to-leading order in perturbative QCD, but omitting terms that are suppressed by one or more powers of $1/\Nc^2$, where $\Nc$ is the number of colors. The…
Jets constructed via clustering algorithms (e.g., anti-$k_T$, soft-drop) have been proposed for many precision measurements, such as the strong coupling $\alpha_s$ and the nucleon intrinsic dynamics. However, the theoretical accuracy is…
The jet fractions expected in e+e- annihilation are calculated analytically in the leading log approximation up to 6 jet order for both the JADE and Durham algorithms.
High precision analyses of experimental data for e+ e- annihillation, such as determination of jet rates or event shape observables, call for complete next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) perturbative QCD predictions. In this talk, we…
We discuss a calculation of the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the process $e^+e^-\to 3$ jets with massive quarks, and show numerical results for the three jet fraction and the differential two jet rate.
Recently, we discovered a mistake in our Letter on phase dynamics in granular d-wave superconductors, which we corrected in an Erratum published last week. This is an expanded version of the Erratum, containing details and supporting…
It has recently been established that hadronisation corrections to QCD jets vary as $1/R$, at small $R$, for jets of radius $R$. Here we demonstrate, using jets in the $k_t$ algorithm, that the magnitude of these $1/R$ corrections are…
This is an erratum to our previously published paper.
Progress has been made on the calculation of \(R_{3}\), the three-jet rate in \(e^{+}e^{-}\) annihilation, in the \(k_\bot \) (Durham) scheme. Using the coherent branching formalism \cite{b,c,d}, an explicit expression for \(R_{3}\) is…
Theoretical predictions used in experimental analysis of LHC data have an inherent theoretical uncertainty associated to the relevant order in the perturbative expansion that the observable is computed. In this talk we briefly introduce and…
Current phenomenological studies of jet observables at colliders are clearly limited by the theoretical uncertainties inherent in the next-to-leading order QCD description. We discuss the recent progress made towards the calculation of QCD…
