We present the computation of energy-energy correlation in $e^+e^-$ collisions in the back-to-back region at next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy matched with the next-to-next-to-leading order perturbative prediction. We study the effect of the fixed higher order corrections in a comparison of our results to LEP and SLC data. The next-to-next-to-leading order correction has a sizable impact on the extracted value of $\alpha_{\mathrm S}(M_Z)$, hence its inclusion is mandatory for a precise measurement of the strong coupling using energy-energy correlation.

  1. Operator structure of power corrections and anomalous scaling in energy correlators

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Linear power corrections in energy correlators have a universal anomalous scaling because the dijet operator must be combined with a triple-jet component at one-loop order.

  2. Energy Correlators Resolving Proton Spin

    hep-ph 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    The work establishes a correspondence between spin-dependent energy correlators and polarized TMDs/NECs using SCET, yielding N3LL/N2LL predictions for correlation patterns in current and target fragmentation regions.
