Soft Collinear Effective Field Theory (SCET) [C. W. Bauer, S. Fleming, D. Pirjol and I. W. Stewart, hep-ph/0011336] What is SCET? Effective field theory used to describe energetic particles. QCD SCET Collinear n 3 Collinear Collinear n 2 n 4 Collinear Collinear n 1 n 5 Soft ◮ Collinear sectors where energetic particles within a single region can interact with each other but not with particle in a different sector. ◮ Soft sector - mediates interactions between collinear sectors ◮ Every interaction has well-defined power-counting – allows for systematic expansion Robert Szafron 4/24
