Characterising hadronisation across the phase space

Andrea Banfi, Basem Kamal El-Menoufi

Leading hadronisation corrections to two-jet global event shapes amount to a shift in the corresponding perturbative distributions. It has been recently established that this shift…

Two-loop anomalous dimensions for small- jet versus hadronic fragmentation functions

Melissa van Beekveld, Mrinal Dasgupta, Basem Kamal El-Menoufi +3

We study the collinear fragmentation of highly energetic jets defined with a small jet radius. In particular, we investigate how the corresponding fragmentation functions differ fr…

Introduction to the PanScales framework, version 0.1

Melissa van Beekveld, Mrinal Dasgupta, Basem Kamal El-Menoufi +11

In this article, we document version 0.1 of the PanScales code for parton shower simulations. With the help of a few examples, we discuss basic usage of the code, including tests o…

Rational Q-systems at Root of Unity I. Closed Chains

Jue Hou, Yunfeng Jiang, Yuan Miao

The solution of Bethe ansatz equations for XXZ spin chain with the parameter being a root of unity is infamously subtle. In this work, we develop the rational -system for th…

Collinear fragmentation at NNLL: generating functionals, groomed correlators and angularities

Melissa van Beekveld, Mrinal Dasgupta, Basem Kamal El-Menoufi +2

Jet calculus offers a unique mathematical technique to bridge the area of QCD resummation with Monte Carlo parton showers. With the ultimate goal of constructing next-to-next-to-le…

Interplay between perturbative and non-perturbative effects with the ARES method

Andrea Banfi, Basem Kamal El-Menoufi, Ryan Wood

We present a new semi-numerical method to compute leading hadronisation corrections to two-jet event shapes in annihilation. The formalism we present utilises the dispersi…

Groomed jet mass as a direct probe of collinear parton dynamics

Daniele Anderle, Mrinal Dasgupta, Basem Kamal El-Menoufi +2

We study the link between parton dynamics in the collinear limit and the logarithmically enhanced terms of the groomed jet mass distribution, for jets groomed with the modified mas…

Black holes seeding cosmological phase transitions

Basem Kamal El-Menoufi, Stephan J. Huber, Jonathan P. Manuel

We consider a generic first-order phase transition at finite temperature and investigate to what extent a population of primordial black holes, of variable masses, can affect the r…

What can Black Holes teach us about the IR and UV?

Basem Kamal El-Menoufi, Sonali Mohapatra

Combining insights from both the effective field theory of quantum gravity and black hole thermodynamics, we derive two novel consistency relations to be satisfied by any quantum t…

Near-to-planar three-jet events at NNLL accuracy

Luke Arpino, Andrea Banfi, Basem Kamal El-Menoufi

We extend the ARES method for next-to-next-to-leading-logarithmic (NNLL) QCD resummations to three-jet event shapes in collisions in the near-to-planar limit. In particul…
