Hadron mass effects in power corrections to Event Shapes

We study the effect of hadron masses on the leading power correction of dijet event-shape distributions. We define the transverse velocity operator, that describes the effects of hadron masses. It depends on the "transverse velocity" r, which is different from one only for non-vanishing ha...

Description
Summary:We study the effect of hadron masses on the leading power correction of dijet event-shape distributions. We define the transverse velocity operator, that describes the effects of hadron masses. It depends on the "transverse velocity" r, which is different from one only for non-vanishing hadron masses. We find that hadron-mass effects in general break universality. However we provide a simple method to identify universality classes of event shapes with a common power correction. We also compute the anomalous dimension of the power correction and the structure of the corresponding Wilson coefficient, finding a nontrivial result. © Copyright owned by the author(s).
