abstract

In this work we study the impact of recent findings regarding non-perturbative corrections in the three-jet region to $e^+e^-$ hadronic observables, by performing a simultaneous fit of the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s$ and the non-perturbative parameter $\alpha_0$. We extend the calculation of these power corrections, already known for thrust and C-parameter, to other $e^+e^-$ hadronic observables. We find that for some observables the non-perturbative corrections are reasonably well behaved in the two-jet limit, while for others they have a more problematic behaviour. If one limits the fit to the three-jet region and to the well-behaved observables, one finds in general very good results, with the extracted value of $\alpha_s$ agreeing well with the world average. This is the case in particular for the thrust and $C$-parameter for which notably small values of $\alpha_s$ have been reported when non-perturbative corrections have been computed using analytic methods. Furthermore, the more problematic variables are also well described provided one stays far enough from the two-jet limit, while in this same region they cannot be described using the traditional implementation of power-corrections based on two-jet kinematics.

    Introduces Centauric 1-jettiness in DIS, derives N3LL resummation matched to NLO, and establishes universal non-perturbative power corrections scaling as 1/R via reduction to rescaled hemisphere soft function.

  3. Heavy Jet Mass in Hadronic Higgs Decays

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Heavy jet mass in hadronic Higgs decays is predicted at N³LL′ (dijet) plus NNLL (Sudakov shoulder) plus NNLO, with new analytic trijet-region logarithms for H→gg and H→q̄q.

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

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.
