Jet vetoes are important tools that can be used to separate hard processes. A commonly used variable in which jets are identified and vetoed is the transverse-momentum of a jet. Experimentally, reconstructing small transverse momentum jets at forward rapidities is challenging, which motivates introducing a cut on a jets rapidity to reduce sensitivity to this region. Existing SCET leading-jet...
Event shapes, such as Thrust and C-Parameter, are simple observables
that have been measured to high accuracy at electron-positron
colliders. Using Soft Collinear Effective Theory (SCET), an event shape
distribution can be factored into simpler pieces, including the soft
function which describes the corrections due to low energy QCD
radiation.
In this talk I will present the...
