Distributions in jet production often depend on a soft function, S, which describes hadronic radiation between the jets. Near kinematic thresholds S encodes nonperturbative information, while far from thresholds S can be computed with an operator product expansion (OPE). We design soft functions for jets that serve this dual purpose, reducing to the perturbative result in the OPE region and to a consistent model in the nonperturbative region. We use the MSbar scheme, and in both regions S displays the appropriate renormalization group scale dependence. We point out that viable soft function models should have a gap associated with the minimum hadronic energy deposit. This gap is connected to the leading O(Lambda_QCD) renormalon ambiguity in jet event shapes. By defining the gap in a suitable scheme we demonstrate that the leading renormalon can be eliminated. This improves the convergence of perturbative results, and also the stability by which non-perturbative parameters encode the underlying soft physics.

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

    An updated N3LL'+O(alpha_s^3) thrust analysis yields alpha_s(m_Z)=0.1136 +/- 0.0012 from a dijet-restricted global fit, stable under fit-range, gap-scheme, and hadronization-model variations.

  6. Energy Correlators: A Journey From Theory to Experiment

    hep-ph 2025-06 unverdicted novelty 1.0 of 10

    A review of energy correlators and their role in QCD, collider experiments, and formal quantum field theory.
