LARGE LOGARITHM BEHAVIOUR OF e^+e^- JET CROSS SECTIONS AND EVENT SHAPE DISTRIBUTIONS IN O(alpha_s^2)
We have calculated the leading and next-to-leading logarithm coefficients of
annihilation jet cross sections, thrust distribution
and energy-energy correlation in the two-jet limit when the jet resolution and
the event shape variables vanish. We have compared our results with
expectations based on leading logarithm approximations used to resum the
pertubative cross sections where this is possible. There is good agreement for
the leading and next-to-leading coefficients of jet cross sections in the
Durham scheme. Also for the thrust distribution and energy-energy correlation
we find results which are consistent with the leading logarithm predictions.Comment: 22 pages, uuencoded postscript, no figure
