متن کاملNNLO moments of event shapes in e + e − annihilation
We compute the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections to the first five moments of six event shape variables related to three-particle final states in electron-positron annihilation; the thrust, the heavy jet mass, the C-parameter, the wide and total jet broadenings and the three-to-two-jet transition parameter in the Durham algorithm Y3. The NNLO corrections to the first moment a...
متن کاملNNLO QCD corrections to event shape variables in electron positron annihilation
Precision studies of QCD at ee colliders are based on measurements of event shapes and jet rates. To match the high experimental accuracy, theoretical predictions to nextto-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD are needed for a reliable interpretation of the data. We report the first calculation of NNLO corrections (O(α s )) to three-jet production and related event shapes, and discuss their phen...
متن کاملEvent shapes in e+e− annhilation at NNLO
We report first results on the calculation of NNLO corrections to event shape distributions in electron-positron annhilation. The corrections are sizeable for all variables, however their magnitude is substantially different for different observables. We observe that inclusion of the NNLO corrections yields a considerably better agreement between theory and experimental data both in shape and n...
متن کاملHadronization effects in event shape moments
We study the moments of hadronic event shapes in e + e ‐ annihilation within the context of next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) perturbative QCD predictions combined with non-perturbative power corrections in the dispersive model. This model is extended to match the NNLO perturbative prediction. The resulting theoretical expression has been compared to experimental data from JADE and OPAL, and...
