Automated resummation of final state observables in QCD

Abstract

We present an innovative method to resum infrared and collinear logarithms appearing in distributions of jet observables in QCD. The method, based on a general master formula with applicability conditions, allows resummations at next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy in an automated way. As a sample application we present resummed results in hadronic dijet events.
