Higher-order corrections for three-jet rate in electron-positron annihilation using the (anti-)k_t algorithm
Zoltan Szor (Debrecen University)


We present our results performed in the CoLoRFulNNLO subtraction scheme for the three jet rate in electron-positron annihilation into three jets using the exclusive kt clustering algorithm at next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD perturbation theory.
Results matched with next-to-double logarithmic resummation are also shown compared to OPAL data.
In addition we present our predictions using the anti-kt algorithm for electron-positron colliders at next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbation theory matched with next-to-double logarithmic resummed prediction for the first time.
