Description

Factorization theorems for non-global observables at hadron colliders can be used to resum super-leading logarithms (SLLs) and we present a phenomenological analysis of their numerical impact in pp -> 2 jets.

SLLs are closely related to collinear factorization breaking and are driven by a double-logarithmic evolution equation in an effective field theory. The compatibility of this double-logarithmic evolution with single-logarithmic PDF evolution at low scales implies stringent consistency conditions on the low-energy matrix element of this effective theory. 

We will derive these conditions in our talk; the explicit computations necessary to verify consistency at the three-loop level will be covered in a separate presentation.
