Les Houches Lectures on Soft-Collinear Effective Theory

Abstract

These lectures provide an introduction to Soft-Collinear Effective Theory. As applications we discuss resummation for (i) soft-photon effects in QED, (ii) event-shape variables and (iii) jet cross sections.

Comments: 57 pages, 15 figures. Lectures given at the Les Houches Summer School "Effective Field Theory in Particle Physics and Cosmology", July 2017
