FastEEC: Fast evaluation of N-point energy correlators by Ankita Budhraja, Wouter J. Waalewijn

“…We also consider the possibility of raising the energy to a power higher than one in the energy correlator, which has been proposed to reduce soft sensitivity. These higher-power correlators are not collinear safe, but as a byproduct our approach suggests a natural method to regularize them, such that they can be described using perturbation theory. …”
