Hadronisation corrections for jets in the k_t algorithm
It has recently been established that hadronisation corrections to QCD jets
vary as , at small , for jets of radius . Here we demonstrate, using
jets in the algorithm, that the magnitude of these corrections are
unambiguously linked to the magnitude of corrections to commonly studied
event shapes in annihilation.Comment: Presented at DIS 2009, Madrid, Spai
Non-global logarithms at finite Nc beyond leading order
We analytically compute non-global logarithms at finite Nc fully up to 4
loops and partially at 5 loops, for the hemisphere mass distribution in e+e- to
di-jets to leading logarithmic accuracy. Our method of calculation relies
solely on integrating the eikonal squared-amplitudes for the emission of soft
energy-ordered real-virtual gluons over the appropriate phase space. We show
that the series of non-global logarithms in the said distribution exhibits a
pattern of exponentiation thus confirming - by means of brute force - previous
findings. In the large-Nc limit, our results coincide with those recently
reported in literature. A comparison of our proposed exponential form with
all-orders numerical solutions is performed and the phenomenological impact of
the finite-Nc corrections is discussed.Comment: 31 pages, 5 figure, uses jheppub.sty, minor corrections to previous

Jet mass distribution in Higgs/vector boson + jet events at hadron colliders with clustering
We address the issues of clustering and non-global logarithms for jet shapes
in the process of production of a Higgs/vector boson associated with a single
hard jet at hadron colliders. We perform an analytical fixed-order calculation
up to second order in the coupling as well as an all-orders estimation for the
specific invariant mass distribution of the highest- jet, for various jet
algorithms. Our results are derived in the eikonal (soft) limit and are valid
up to next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. We perform a matching of the
resummed distribution to next-to-leading order results from MCFM and compare
our findings with the outputs of the Monte Carlo event generators Pythia 8 and
Herwig 7. After accounting for non-perturbative effects we compare our results
with available experimental data from the CMS collaboration for the Z + jet
production. We find good agreement over a wide range of the observable.Comment: 18 pages, 14 figure
Higgs distribution in Higgs + jet production at hadron colliders within the non-commutative Higgs effective standard model
We use the non-commutative Higgs effective standard model to make a
phenomenological prediction for the transverse momentum distribution of the
Higgs boson produced in association with a jet at hadron colliders. We
calculate at leading order in the non-commutative parameter as well as
leading order in the strong coupling , the one-loop
distribution of the Higgs boson. As in the standard model, the fixed-order
distribution suffers from large logarithms at small which require an
all-orders resummation. We find that the large- region of the distribution
is strongly affected by the non-commutativity, while small- region is not.
Following this observation, we propose a simple matching method that allows us
to compute a result that is also valid at small obtained with
standard-model parton showers such as Pythia 8.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figure
