Title:Energy Correlators as a Probe of Nonperturbative QCD
Room: 3024
Host: John Terning
Abstract:
Energy correlators are a class of cleverly constructed collider observables that provides unique insights into the field theory structure and phenomenology of QCD. In this talk, I will broadly discuss the new developments in the recent studies of energy correlators and emphasize their relevance for both collider phenomenology and formal theory. I focus on extracting the leading nonperturbative contribution to energy correlators using field theory methods and discuss the universality across event shape observables of such contributions. I show that correctly including the nonperturbative improves our theoretical description of the transition to the confinement region as observed from data. In particular, I demonstrate that including nonperturbative corrections has a significant impact on the extraction of the strong coupling constant using energy correlators.
