Abstract

We present a new framework for calculating multijet observables through resummation. The framework is based on the factorization of scattering amplitudes in an asymptotic limit. By imposing simple constraints on the analytic behavior of the result when applied away from this limit, we get good agreement with the known lowest order perturbative behavior of the scattering amplitude, and predictions for the behavior to all orders in the perturbative series. As an example of application we study predictions for Higgs boson production through gluon fusion at the LHC in association with at least two jets.
