Description

The pull angle was introduced as a sensitive probe of the color flow between jets and has been measured in W boson decays by ATLAS. Despite being infrared and collinear unsafe, it can be calculated in resummed perturbation theory. In this talk, I will review the pull angle, introduce our calculation, and compare it to ATLAS data.
