abstract

We reconsider the calculation of a non-global QCD observable and find the possible breakdown of QCD coherence. This breakdown arises as a result of wide angle soft gluon emission developing a sensitivity to emission at small angles and it leads to the appearance of super-leading logarithms. We use the `gaps between jets' cross-section as a concrete example and illustrate that the new logarithms are intimately connected with the presence of Coulomb gluon contributions. We present some rough estimates of their potential phenomenological significance.

$N$-Jettiness Soft Functions Made Simple

hep-ph · 2026-04-14 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

A decomposition splits the most singular dipole term of the N-jettiness soft function into an inclusive soft function and a remainder that is absent at NLO, finite at NNLO, and subtractable at N3LO, enabling NNLO results for up to five jets.
