- The Surprising Emergent Phenomena of Perturbative QCD
- Time: 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm
- Place: 5280 Chamberlin Hall
- Speaker: Andrew Larkoski, Harvard University
- Abstract: The standard lore says that the only observables that are calculable within perturbation theory in QCD or any gauge theory are those that are infrared and collinear safe. Recently, we have discovered observables that are not infrared and collinear safe, yet are calculable in perturbation theory when all orders effects are included. We refer to these observables as Sudakov safe and unlike infrared and collinear safe observables, their distributions have non-analytic dependence on the coupling. In this talk, I will discuss one Sudakov safe observable which exhibits independence on the coupling and manifests the universal collinear splitting functions.
