Description

Event shapes provide a key method of measuring jets in deep-inelastic scattering (DIS). This was done successfully by H1 and ZEUS and compared with theoretical calculations with next-to-leading-logarithmic (NLL) resummation. We will present our progress for a high precision calculation of​ a event shape called DIS thrust, with next-to-next-to-next-to-leading-logarithmic resummation. We will also show a rigorous treatment of hadronization corrections. Perturbative resummation uncertainties in the cross section are reduced to the 2% level for a significant region of the HERA phase space in $x$ and $Q$, thus allowing for new accurate measurements of $\alpha_s(m_Z)$.
