AbstractEvent shapes are classical tools for the determination of the strong coupling and for the study of hadronization effects in electron-positron annihilation. In the context of analytical studies, hadronization corrections take the form of power-suppressed contributions to the cross section, which can be extracted from the perturbative ambiguity of Borel-resummed distributions. We propose a simplified version of the well-established method of Dressed Gluon Exponentiation (DGE), which we call Eikonal DGE (EDGE), which determines all dominant power corrections to event shapes by means of strikingly elementary calculations. We believe our method can be generalized to hadronic event shapes and jet shapes of relevance for LHC physics.

The impact of improved measurements of the cross section for electron-positron annihilation into hadrons in the charm threshold region is discussed. Two aspects are studied in detail: i.) A significant reduction of the experimental error of the electronic width of the narrow resonances J/ψ and ψ′ and of the continuum cross section from the open charm threshold up to 4.6 GeV will lead to a correspondingly improved determination of the charmed quark mass; ii) A high luminosity measurement with 24 pb-1 at three points and with a spacing of 2 MeV around [Formula: see text] may allow to observe the direct, resonant production of χc1.

When tunneling events induced by nontrivial configurations of the quantum chromodynamics gauge fields are taken into consideration, parity violating quantities emerge. Based on this consideration, parity-odd fragmentation functions can be introduced in the high energy reactions. In this paper, we calculate the differential cross-section in terms of both the parity-even and parity-odd fragmentation functions in semi-inclusive electron positron annihilation process. Semi-inclusive implies that not only a vector meson in one jet but also the back-to-back jet is measured in this reaction. According to the differential cross-section, we further calculate the azimuthal asymmetries and hadron polarizations in terms of fragmentation functions. A method of measuring the parity violating effects in the semi-inclusive annihilation process is suggested.

This chapter discusses the predictions of Quantum Chromodynamics for event shapes in electron-positron annihilation to hadrons, and in for the evolution of parton distributions, and the comparison of these predictions to experiment. It introduces the notion of a jet of hadrons associated with a hard-scattered parton.
