Power corrections to hadronic event shapes are estimated using a recently suggested relationship between perturbative and non-perturbative effects in QCD. The infrared cutoff dependence of perturbative calculations is related to…
We review theoretical methods employed to study non-perturbative contributions to e^+e^- event-shapes and discuss their phenomenological relevance.
We discuss power corrections to infrared safe cross sections and event shapes, and identify a nonperturbative function that governs 1/Q corrections to these quantities.
We present a new semi-numerical method to compute leading hadronisation corrections to two-jet event shapes in $e^+e^-$ annihilation. The formalism we present utilises the dispersive approach, where the magnitude of power corrections is…
We estimate the effects of non-perturbative physics on the differential distributions of infrared- and collinear-safe $e^+e^-$ event shape variables, by extending the notion of an infrared-regular effective strong coupling, which accounts…
The size of non-perturbative corrections to event shape observables is predicted to fall like a power of the inverse centre of mass energy. These power corrections are investigated for different observables from e+e-annihilation and…

We discuss a class of event shapes for e+e- dijet events that include the thrust as a special case. Large logarithmic corrections to the corresponding cross sections can be resummed to all logarithmic orders at leading power. However,…
We compute power corrections to hadronic event shapes in $e^+e^-$ annihilation, assuming an infrared regular behaviour of the effective coupling $\alpha_s$. With the integral of $\alpha_s$ over the infrared region as the only…
In two lectures, we overview the renormalon and renormalon-related techniques and their phenomenological applications. We begin with a single renormalon chain which is a well defined and systematic way to specify the character of…
The fully resummed next-to-leading-order perturbative calculation of the energy-energy correlation in $e^+e^-$ annihilation is extended to include the leading non-perturbative power-behaved contributions computed using the ``dispersive…
A few comments are made on the role of nonperturbative and perturbative power corrections. This is followed by a description of energy flow observables and correlations that may provide a flexible approach to rapidity distributions in…
Some open questions exist with fluctuation-induced forces between extended dipoles. Conventional intuition derives from large-separation perturbative approximations to dispersion force theory. Here we present a full non-perturbative theory.…
The effects of the hadronisation of partons on the distribution of event shape observables are associated with corrections which are suppressed by reciprocal powers of the energy scale of the process. The correction is determined by one…
The connection between renormalons and power corrections is discussed in the case the effective coupling constant has an infrared fixed point of perturbative origin.
We study power corrections to the differential thrust, heavy jet mass and C-parameter distributions in the two-jet kinematical region in e^+e^- annihilation. We argue that away from the end-point region, e>> \Lambda_{QCD}/Q, the leading…
In this article we study, via analytical methods, $1/Q$ non-perturbative power corrections to event shape mean values, addressing in particular the question of their interplay with soft perturbative emissions. Specifically we point out that…
We show that taking into account the interplay between perturbative and non-perturbative effects, the power-suppressed shift to the broadening distributions becomes B dependent, and the non-perturbative contribution to the mean values…
In recent years, energy correlators have emerged as a powerful tool to explore the field theoretic structure of strong interactions at particle colliders. In this Letter we initiate a novel study of the non-perturbative power corrections to…
Experimental studies of power corrections with e+e- data are reviewed. An overview of the available data for jet and event shape observables is given and recent analyses based on the Dokshitzer-Marchesini-Webber (DMW) model of power…
