BLM Scale Fixing in Event Shape Distributions

arXiv:1401.6809 · doi:10.1140/epjc/s10052-014-2896-1

Abstract

We study the application of the Brodsky-Lepage-Mackenzie (BLM) scale setting prescription to event shape distributions in electron-positron collisions. The renormalization scale is set dynamically according to the BLM method. We study NLO predictions and we discuss extensions of the prescription to NNLO.
