Perturbation theory of computing QCD jet cross sections beyond NLO accuracy
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 at any order in perturbation theory. We give a status report of the implementation of the method to computing jet cross sections in electronpositron annihil...

We briefly describe a new general algorithm for carrying out QCD calculations to next-to-leading order in perturbation theory. The algorithm can be used for computing arbitrary jet cross sections in arbitrary processes and can be straightforwardly implemented in general-purpose Monte Carlo programs. We show numerical results for the specific case of jet cross sections in deep inelastic scatteri...
متن کاملThe Dipole Formalism for the Calculation of QCD Jet Cross Sections at Next-to-Leading Order
In order to make quantitative predictions for jet cross sections in perturbative QCD, it is essential to calculate them to next-to-leading accuracy. This has traditionally been an extremely laborious process. Using a new formalism, imaginatively called the dipole formalism, we are able to construct a completely general algorithm for next-to-leading order calculations of arbitrary jet quantities...
متن کاملCalculation of QCD jet cross sections at next - to - leading order
A general method for calculating next-to-leading order cross sections in perturbative QCD is presented. The algorithm is worked out for calculating N -jet cross sections in hadron-hadron collisions. The generalization of the scheme to performing caclulations for other QCD process, such as electron-positron annihilation or in deep inelastic scattering is also straightforward. As an illustration ...
متن کاملMultijet cross sections in deep inelastic scattering at next-to-leading order.
We present the perturbative prediction for three-jet production cross section in deep inelastic scattering at the next-to-leading order accuracy. We study the dependence on the renormalization and factorization scales of exclusive three-jet cross section. The perturbative prediction for the three-jet differential distribution as a function of the momentum transfer is compared to the correspondi...
