Precision DIS thrust predictions for HERA and EIC

Abstract We present predictions for the DIS 1-jettiness event shape τ 1 b $$ {\tau}_1^b $$ , or DIS thrust, using the framework of Soft Collinear Effective Theory (SCET) for factorization, resummation of large logarithms, and rigorous treatment of nonperturbative power corrections, matched to fixed-...

description Abstract We present predictions for the DIS 1-jettiness event shape τ 1 b $$ {\tau}_1^b $$ , or DIS thrust, using the framework of Soft Collinear Effective Theory (SCET) for factorization, resummation of large logarithms, and rigorous treatment of nonperturbative power corrections, matched to fixed-order QCD away from the resummation region. Our predictions reach next-to-next-to-next-to-leading-logarithmic (N3LL) accuracy in resummed perturbation theory, matched to O $$ \mathcal{O} $$ ( α s 2 $$ {\alpha}_s^2 $$ ) fixed-order QCD calculations obtained using the program NLOJet++. We include a rigorous treatment of hadronization corrections, which are universal across different event shapes and kinematic variables x and Q at leading power, and supplement them with a systematic scheme to remove O $$ \mathcal{O} $$ (ΛQCD) renormalon ambiguities in their definition. The framework of SCET allows us to connect smoothly the nonperturbative, resummation, and fixed-order regions, whose relative importance varies with x and Q, and to rigorously estimate theoretical uncertainties, across a broad range of x and Q covering existing experimental results from HERA as well as expected new measurements from the upcoming Electron- Ion-Collider (EIC). Our predictions will serve as an important benchmark for the EIC program, enabling the precise determination of the QCD strong coupling α s and the universal nonperturbative first moment parameter Ω1.
