Hadronisation corrections for jets in the k_t algorithm

, 2009
It has recently been established that hadronisation corrections to QCD jets vary as $1/R$, at small $R$, for jets of radius $R$. Here we demonstrate, using jets in the $k_t$ algorithm, that the magnitude of these $1/R$ corrections are unambiguously ...
