Resummation of double-differential cross sections and fully-unintegrated parton distribution functions

A bstractLHC measurements involve cuts on several observables, but resummed calculations are mostly restricted to single variables. We show how the resummation of a class of double-differential measurements can be achieved through an extension of Soft-Collinear Effective Theory (SCET). A prototypical application is pp → Z + 0 jets, where the jet veto is imposed through the beam thrust event shape T
