From a detailed analysis of cone-jet cross sections in effective field theory, we obtain novel factorization theorems which separate the physics associated with different energy scales present in such processes. The relevant low-energy physics is encoded in Wilson lines along the directions of the energetic particles inside the jets. This multi-Wilson-line structure is present even for...
Many collider observables suffer from non-global logarithms not captured by standard resummation techniques. Classic examples are the light-jet mass event shape in the limit of small mass and the related hemisphere soft function. We derive factorization formulas for both of these and explicitly demonstrate that they capture all logarithms present at NNLO. These formulas achieve full scale...
I describe the systematic treatment of QED radiative corrections for lepton-nucleon scattering. These corrections are critical for the long baseline neutrino program (quasi elastic neutrino scattering) and for the determination of fundamental constants and the elucidation of the proton radius puzzle (elastic electron-proton scattering).
