A subtraction scheme for computing QCD jet cross sections at NNLO: regularization of doubly-real emissions
We present a subtraction scheme for computing jet cross sections in electronpositron annihilation at next-to-next-to-leading order accuracy in perturbative QCD. In this first part we deal with the regularization of the doubly-real contribution to the NNLO correction.
متن کاملA subtraction scheme for computing QCD jet cross sections at NNLO: integrating the subtraction terms I
In previous articles we outlined a subtraction scheme for regularizing doublyreal emission and real-virtual emission in next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) calculations of jet cross sections in electron-positron annihilation. In order to find the NNLO correction these subtraction terms have to be integrated over the factorized unresolved phase space and combined with the two-loop corrections. ...
متن کاملSubtraction with hadronic initial states: an NNLO-compatible scheme
We present an NNLO-compatible subtraction scheme for computing QCD jet cross sections of hadron-initiated processes at NLO accuracy. The scheme is constructed specifically with those complications in mind, that emerge when extending the subtraction algorithm to next-to-next-to-leading order. It is therefore possible to embed the present scheme in a full NNLO computation without any modifications.
متن کاملAnalytic integration of real-virtual counterterms in NNLO jet cross sections II
We present analytic expressions of all integrals required to complete the explicit evaluation of the real-virtual integrated counterterms needed to define a recently proposed subtraction scheme for jet cross sections at next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD. We use the Mellin-Barnes representation of these integrals in 4 − 2ǫ dimensions to obtain the coefficients of their Laurent expansions arou...
متن کاملAntenna Subtraction at NNLO
The computation of exclusive QCD jet observables at higher orders requires a method for the subtraction of infrared singular configurations arising from multiple radiation of real partons. We present a subtraction scheme relevant for NNLO perturbative calculations in e+e− → jets. The building blocks of the scheme are antenna functions derived from the matrix elements for tree-level 1 → 3 and 1 ...
