Event shapes and jet rates in electron-positron annihilation at NNLO
نویسنده
چکیده
This article gives the perturbative NNLO results for the most commonly used event shape variables associated to three-jet events in electron-positron annihilation: Thrust, heavy jet mass, wide jet broadening, total jet broadening, C parameter and the Durham three-to-two jet transition variable. In addition the NNLO results for the jet rates corresponding to the Durham, Geneva, Jade-E0 and Cambridge jet algorithms are presented.

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 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 کاملThree-Jet Production in Electron-Positron Collisions at Next-to-Next-to-Leading Order Accuracy.
We introduce a completely local subtraction method for fully differential predictions at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) accuracy for jet cross sections and use it to compute event shapes in three-jet production in electron-positron collisions. We validate our method on two event shapes, thrust and C parameter, which are already known in the literature at NNLO accuracy and compute for the ...
متن کاملInfrared structure of e + e − → 3 jets at NNLO
We describe the calculation of the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections to three-jet production and related event shape observables in electron-positron annihilation. Infrared singularities due to double real radiation at tree level and single real radiation at one loop are subtracted from the full QCD matrix elements using antenna functions, which are then integrated analytical...
