Automated Calculations in Soft-Collinear Effective Theory (B2a)

• Subject Area: Nuclear and Elementary Particle Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Relativity, Fields
• Term: since 2019
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 396021762

This project aims at streamlining calculations in Soft-Collinear Effective Theory (SCET). Specifically, we envisage to develop automated codes for the calculation of soft, jet and beam functions to next-to-next-to-leading order in the strong-coupling expansion, and we will apply them to compute various key ingredients that are needed to extend SCET resummations to higher logarithmic accuracy. Likewise we will compute counterterms for NNLO slicing techniques, and we plan to interface our codes with the SCETlib library to enable automated resummations based on effective-field-theory methods.
