Resummation of non-global QCD observables
read the original abstract
We discuss issues related to the resummation of non-global observables in QCD, those that are sensitive to radiation in only a part of phase space. Examples of such observables are certain single-hemisphere event shapes in e+e- and DIS. Compared to global observables (those sensitive to all emissions, e.g. the e+e- thrust) a new class of single-logarithmic terms arises. These have been neglected in recent calculations in the literature. For a whole set of single hemisphere e+e- and DIS event shapes, we analytically evaluate the first such term, at order alpha_s^2, and give numerical results for the resummation of these terms in the large-Nc limit.
