Description

The analytic, factorisation based, resummation of non-global logarithms requires ingredient functions of higher computational complexity than their global counterparts, due to the disparate treatment of different phase space regions, thus necessitating numerical evaluation. In this talk I will present progress towards automating the calculation of soft functions for non-global observables to second order in the strong coupling constant, with special focus on the implementation of rapidity regularisation, and the path towards a public code for the calculation of such soft functions.
