Automated Calculation of Dijet Soft Functions in Soft-Collinear Effective Theory

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

We present a systematic framework for the calculation of dijet soft functions, which are defined as a matrix element of two light-like Wilson lines that is weighted by a generic measurement function. Based on a universal parametrisation of the phase-space integrals, we isolate the singular terms in Laplace space and evaluate the observable-dependent integrations numerically. We discuss the implementation of our algorithm into the public program SecDec, and present results for various SCET-1 soft functions to two-loop order. In particular, we obtain new predictions for the C-parameter and the angularity variables. Finally, we discuss ongoing extensions and the future outlook of the project.
