Abstract
We compute the next-to-next-to-leading-order (NNLO) QCD corrections to the thrust distribution in electron-positron annihilation. The corrections turn out to be sizable, enhancing the previously known next-to-leading-order prediction by about 15%. Inclusion of the NNLO corrections significantly reduces the theoretical renormalization scale uncertainty on the prediction of the thrust distribution.Year: 2007 PMID: 17930578 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.99.132002
