Abstract

We study the planar-flow distributions of narrow, highly boosted, massive QCD jets. Using the factorization properties of QCD in the collinear limit, we compute the planar-flow jet function from the one-to-three splitting function at tree level. We derive the leading-log behavior of the jet function analytically. We also compare our semianalytic jet function with parton-shower predictions using various generators.
