Abstract

We present the first next-to-next-to-leading-logarithmic resummation for the two-jet rate in e+e- annihilation in the Durham and Cambridge algorithms. The results are obtained by extending the ares method to observables involving any global, recursively infrared and collinear safe jet algorithm in e+e- collisions. As opposed to other methods, this approach does not require a factorization theorem for the observables. We present predictions matched to next-to-next-to-leading order and a comparison to LEP data.
