Introduction to Soft-Collinear Effective Theory

Introduction to Soft-Collinear Effective Theory /

Among resummation techniques for perturbative QCD in the context of collider and flavor physics, soft-collinear effective theory (SCET) has emerged as both a powerful and versatile tool, having been applied to a large variety of processes, from B-meson decays to jet production at the LHC.  This book...
