Super-leading logarithms in non-global observables in QCD?

    Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

    Abstract

    We reconsider the calculation of a non-global QCD observable and find the possible breakdown of QCD coherence. This breakdown arises as a result of wide angle soft gluon emission developing a sensitivity to emission at small angles and it leads to the appearance of super-leading logarithms. We use the 'gaps between jets' cross-section as a concrete example and illustrate that the new logarithms are intimately connected with the presence of Coulomb gluon contributions. We present some rough estimates of their potential phenomenological significance. © SISSA 2006.
