Precision physics with jet observables and transverse momentum distributions (PRETALK for students at 15:30 h)
Jet production observables and transverse momentum distributions are measured to high accuracy at the LHC. They provide in-depth information on the underlying particle dynamics, and can be used for example for precision determinations of parton distributions or Standard Model parameters. To match the quality of the experimental data, equally precise theory predictions are needed, which are obtained by going to high orders in perturbation theory. We describe techniques and recent results on next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) calculations of jet observables and discuss their implications for precision QCD physics.
