Description

I will discuss the motivations and general idea of soft gluon resummation in QCD. Following previously formulated methods, I will talk about the resummation to next-to-leading logarithmic order of collider observables, such as event-shapes and jet rates. Finally, I will detail some of the new contributions required to achieve resummation of such observables to NNLL order.
