Azimuthal decorrelations of dijets in QCD

Abstract

We report on the status of the QCD analysis of dijet azimuthal decorrelations. We emphasise the relevance of resummation of soft and collinear enhancements in describing these observables in the region where the two jets are nearly back-to-back in the transverse plane. We also discuss the sources of theoretical uncertainties and possible research directions aimed at their reduction.
