Automation of calculations in Soft-Collinear Effective Theory — Guido Bell², •Rudi Rahn¹, and Jim Talbert¹ — ¹Rudolf Peierls Centre for Theoretical Physics, University of Oxford, United Kingdom — ²Theoretische Physik 1, Universität Siegen, Germany

In this talk we will focus on the evaluation of 2-loop dijet soft functions, which are crucial for NNLL resummation in SCET, and an algorithmic approach, suitable for automation and numerical treatment of a wide range of soft functions will be presented. We will show an implementation of this algorithm using the publicly available program SecDec, and various results for e+e- and hadron collider soft functions derived with it.
