Description

We present the analytic result of three-point energy correlator in N=4 SYM and QCD. This is the first analytic computation of trijet event shape observables, which provides precise data for both theoretical analysis and phenomenological studies in jet substructure. The beauty of energy correlator allows us to rationalize all square roots and finish the full four-particle phase space integral. Compared with the standard energy-energy correlation, three-point energy correlator depends on the three angles among the detectors, containing the nontrivial shape information about the scattering process. The full shape dependence enables us to explore the kinematic space from various kinematic limits and their overlaps. This talk is based on 2203.04349, 2208.01051 and ongoing work.
