Jet cross sections at high-energy colliders exhibit intricate patterns of logarithmically enhanced higher-order corrections.
In particular, so-called non-global logarithms emerge from soft radiation emitted off energetic partons inside jets. While this is a single-logarithmic effect at lepton colliders, at hadron colliders phase factors in the amplitudes lead to double-logarithmic corrections starting at four-loop order. This effect was discovered a long time ago, but not much is known about the higher-order behavior of these terms and their process dependence.
We derive, for the first time, the all-order structure of these ``super-leading logarithms'' for generic $2\to l$ scattering processes at hadron colliders and resum them in closed form.
