2. Factorization for Jet Substructure

I will discuss recent advances in resummation of observables for probing the substructure of jets. By grooming the jet with soft drop, non-global logarithms in the jet mass can be removed. Extending the factorization theorem for soft drop jet mass, we are able to calculate the distribution of $D_2$, an observable that is sensitive to two-prong structure in the jet. The soft dropped $D_2$...

6. Inclusive small radius jets and their substructure

We review the treatment of inclusive small radius jets and their substructure within Soft Collinear Effective Theory (SCET). The cross section for (semi-) inclusive jet observables can be written in a factorized form in terms of hard functions and so-called semi-inclusive jet functions (siJFs). The siJFs satisfy renormalization group (RG) equations which take the form of standard timelike...
