Systematic Improvement of Parton Showers with Effective Theory

Baumgart, Matthew, Marcantonini, Claudio, Stewart, Iain W.

Understand

We carry out a systematic classification and computation of next-to-leading order kinematic power corrections to the fully differential cross section in the parton shower.

To do this we devise a map between ingredients in a parton shower and operators in a traditional effective field theory framework using a chain of soft-collinear effective theories.
Our approach overcomes several difficulties including avoiding double counting and distinguishing approximations that are coordinate choices from true power corrections.
Branching corrections can be classified as hard-scattering, that occur near the top of the shower, and jet-structure, that can occur at any point inside it.
