Angularity is a class of event-shape observables that can be measured in deep-inelastic scattering. With its continuous parameter $a$ one can interpolate angularity between thrust and broadening and further access beyond the region.…

The study of "random segments" is a classic issue in geometrical probability, whose complexity depends on how it is defined. But in apparently simple models, the random behavior is not immediate. In the present manuscript the following…
