Transverse momentum-dependent heavy-quark fragmentation at next-to-leading order by von Kuk, Rebecca, Michel, Johannes K. L., Sun, Zhiquan

“…Our final results in position space agree with those of a recent calculation by another group that used a highly orthogonal organization of singularities in the intermediate momentum-space steps, providing a strong independent cross check. As an immediate application, we present the complete quark mass dependence of the energy-energy correlator (EEC) in the back-to-back limit at (𝛼𝑠).…”
