Description
In this talk, we will discuss small radius jets at the LHC, focusing more particularly on the case of inclusive jet production, a standard candle hadron-collider process. We will show how to resum leading logarithmic terms of the jet radius R (LLR), and apply this formalism to a detailed study of the inclusive jet spectrum. We will study subleading R-dependent terms at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO), and incorporate them into our calculation. We will investigate cancellations in the scale dependence, leading to new prescriptions for evaluating uncertainties, and examine the impact of non-perturbative effects. Finally, we compare matched (N)NLO+LLR predictions with data from ATLAS and ALICE, finding improved consistency for the R-dependence of the results relative to NLO predictions.
