Event shapes and jet shapes in neutral current deep inelastic scattering and photoproduction are studied with the H1 and ZEUS detectors at HERA. The measurements are compared to next-to-leading-order QCD calculations and Monte Carlo models.…
A method based on sector decomposition has been developed to calculate the double real radiation part of the process e+e- to 3 jets at next-to-next-to-leading order. It is shown in an example that the numerical cancellation of soft and…
Experimental results on jet physics at LEP and SLC are reviewed and compared with perturbative QCD predictions. The discussion includes determinations of the strong coupling $\as$, measurements of event shape distributions and jet cross…
Energy and momentum loss of jets in heavy ion collisions can affect the fluid dynamic evolution of the medium. We determine realistic event-by-event averages and correlation functions of the local energy-momentum transfer from hard…
Three-jet event-shape distributions can be exploited to investigate the dependence of hadronisation effects on the colour and the geometry of the underlying hard event. We present here the first comparison of data in e+e- annihilation and…
Given a next-to-leading order calculation, we show how to set up a computer program, which generates a sequence of unweighted momentum configurations, each configuration containing either n or n+1 four-vectors, such that for any infrared…
We introduce a subtraction method for jet cross sections at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) accuracy in the strong coupling and use it to compute event shapes in three-jet production in electron-positron collisions. We validate our…
Events containing hadronically decaying heavy particles with large momentum, leading to so-called merged jets, are expected to play a significant role in both searches for new physics and measurements of Standard Model processes at the CERN…
We present predictions for soft-drop event shapes of hadronic final states in electron-positron annihilation at next-to-next-to-leading order accuracy in perturbation theory obtained using the CoLoRFulNNLO subtraction method. We study the…
We present a flexible Monte Carlo implementation of the perturbative framework of High Energy Jets, describing multi-jet events at hadron colliders. The description includes a resummation which ensures leading logarithmic accuracy for large…
The study of global event shape variables can provide sensitive tests of predictions for multijet production in proton-proton collisions. This paper presents a study of several event shape variables calculated using jet four momenta in…
The weak-boson fusion process is expected to provide crucial information on Higgs boson couplings at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The achievable statistical accuracy demands comparison with next-to-leading order QCD calculations,…
The jet charge is an old observable that has proven uniquely useful for discrimination of jets initiated by different flavors of light quarks, for example. In this Letter, we propose an approach to understanding the jet charge by…
The large center of mass energy and increasing statistical precision for a wide range of hadronic final state observables at the HERA lepton-proton collider has provided a detailed testing ground for QCD dynamics. Fully flexible…
We report on the calculation of NNLO corrections to the 3-jet cross section and related event shape distributions in electron-positron annihilation. The corrections are sizable for all variables, however the magnitude of the corrections is…
We have implemented in the RAPGAP program a previously derived subtraction method for next-to-leading order (NLO) corrections in Monte-Carlo event generators, and we show results for jet production in deep inelastic scattering. At small…
I illustrate a general formalism based upon the subtraction method for the calculation of next-to-leading order QCD cross sections for any number of jets in any type of hard collisions. I discuss the implementation of this formalism in a…
We discuss the problems that arise when one wishes to extend the existing general methods of computing radiative corrections to QCD jet cross sections to beyond next-to-leading order. Then we present a subtraction scheme that can be defined…
Jet broadening is an event-shape variable probing the transverse momenta of particles inside jets. It has been measured precisely in e+e- annihilations and is used to extract the strong coupling constant. The factorization of the associated…
The inclusive production of several jets is studied in the framework of the hard pomeron model. The average jet momenta are found to be strongly ordered and growing towards the central c.m. rapidity, as expected. Strong positive…
