The semi-inclusive jet function in SCET and small radius resummation for inclusive jet production

Abstract

We introduce a new kind of jet function: the semi-inclusive jet function $J_i(z,{\omega }_J,\mu )$, which describes how a parton $i$ is transformed into a jet with a jet radius $R$ and energy fraction $z={\omega }_J/\omega$, with ${\omega }_J$ and $\omega$ being the large light-cone momentum component of the jet and the corresponding parton $i$ that initiates the jet, respectively. Within the framework of Soft Collinear Effective Theory (SCET) we calculate both $J_q(z,{\omega }_J,\mu )$ and $J_g(z,{\omega }_J,\mu )$ to the next-to-leading order (NLO) for cone and anti-k${}_{\mathrm{T}}$ algorithms. We demonstrate that the renormalization group (RG) equations for $J_i(z,{\omega }_J,\mu )$ follow exactly the usual DGLAP evolution, which can be used to perform the $\ln R$ resummation for {\it inclusive} jet cross sections with a small jet radius $R$. We clarify the difference between our RG equations for $J_i(z,{\omega }_J,\mu )$ and those for the so-called unmeasured jet functions $J_i({\omega }_J,\mu )$, widely used in SCET for {\it exclusive} jet production. Finally, we present applications of the new semi-inclusive jet functions to inclusive jet production in $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ and $pp$ collisions. We demonstrate that single inclusive jet production in these collisions shares the same short-distance hard functions as single inclusive hadron production, with only the fragmentation functions $D_i^h(z,\mu )$ replaced by $J_i(z,{\omega }_J,\mu )$. This can facilitate more efficient higher-order analytical computations of jet cross sections. We further match our $\ln R$ resummation at both LL${}_R$ and NLL${}_R$ to fixed NLO results and present the phenomenological implications for single inclusive jet production at the LHC.
