Description
We apply the Soft Collinear Effective Theory for QCD to muon-antimuon collisions that produce two exclusive jets. The hard scattering amplitude for muon-antimuon to q-qbar is matched from full QCD to SCET at Next to Leading Order. We calculate the differential thrust cross section using the matched Wilson coefficients at NLO for the hard function, and the soft functions and jet functions are calculated perturbatively at NLO. These results can be used to predict dijet event shapes at muon colliders, to compare to Monte Carlo, or to further study multi-jet events.
