TTP13-012 Resummation of non-global logarithms at finite Nc

In the context of inter-jet energy flow, we present the first quantitative result of the resummation of non-global logarithms at finite N_c. This is achieved by refining Weigert's approach in which the problem is reduced to the simulation of associated Langevin dynamics in the space of Wilson lines. We find that, in e+e- annihilation, the exact result is rather close to the result previously obtained in the large-N_c mean field approximation. However, we observe enormous event-by-event fluctuations in the Langevin process which may have significant consequences in hadron collisions.
