Entropy of a Jet.

Scattering processes often inevitably include the production of infrared states, which are highly correlated with the hard scattering event, and decohere the hard states. This can be described using the entropy of the hard reduced density matrix, which is obtained from tracing over infrared states. We determine this entropy for an asymptotically free gauge theory by separating the Hilbert space into hard and infrared states, and calculate it in a leading-logarithmic approximation for jets.

Rapidity renormalization group.

We introduce a systematic approach for the resummation of perturbative series which involves large logarithms not only due to large invariant mass ratios but large rapidities as well. A series of this form can appear in a variety of gauge theory observables. The formalism is utilized to calculate the jet broadening event shape in a systematic fashion to next-to-leading logarithmic order.
