Description

Jet observables such as event-shape distributions and jet rates are widely used for precision determinations of the strong coupling. The accuracy of perturbative calculations for such observables is very high, and poorly known hadronisation corrections limit the precision of such determination. I present a general method, based on the existing theoretical framework ARES (Automated Resummer for Event Shapes), to estimate hadronisation corrections up to a single universal non-perturbative parameter, which can be determined from data. The method can be applied to an arbitrary observable and gives promise to impact future determinations of the strong coupling with jet observables.
