Abstract

In cross sections with angular cuts, an intricate pattern of enhanced higher-order corrections known as nonglobal logarithms arises. The leading logarithmic terms were computed numerically two decades ago, but the resummation of subleading nonglobal logarithms remained a challenge that we solve in this Letter using renormalization group methods in effective field theory. To achieve next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, we implement the two-loop anomalous dimension governing the resummation of nonglobal logarithms into a large-N_{c} parton shower framework, together with one-loop matching corrections. As a first application, we study the interjet energy flow in e^{+}e^{-} annihilation into two jets. We then present, for the first time, resummed predictions at next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy for a gap-between-jets observable at hadron colliders.
