Factorization and Resummation for Jet Broadening
read the original abstract
Jet broadening is an event-shape variable probing the transverse momenta of particles inside jets. It has been measured precisely in e+e- annihilations and is used to extract the strong coupling constant. The factorization of the associated cross section at small values of the broadening is afflicted by a collinear anomaly. Based on an analysis of this anomaly, we present the first all-order expressions for jet-broadening distributions, which are free of large perturbative logarithms in the two-jet limit. Our formulae reproduce known results at next-to-leading logarithmic order but also extend to higher orders.

$B_c \to \eta_c$ form factors at large recoil: SCET analysis and a three-loop consistency check
SCET factorization confirms the double-logarithmic resummation for B_c to eta_c form factors up to three loops and derives the iterative structure from RG equations of light-cone distribution amplitudes with cutoff re...
