Description
We revisit the impact of the jet algorithm on predictions of energy flow into gaps between hard jets, defined using the kt clustering procedure. The resulting prediction has two distinct components: a primary emission piece that is related to independent emission of soft gluons by the hard jets and a correlated emission (non-global) piece known only in the large Nc limit. We analytically compute the dependence of the primary emission term on the jet algorithm, which gives significantly more insight than our previous numerical study of the same. We also point out that the non-global component of the answer is reduced even more significantly by the clustering than suggested previously in the literature. Lastly we provide improved predictions for the latest ZEUS photoproduction data, assessing the impact of our latest findings
