The energy-energy correlation (EEC) function in $e^+e^-$ annihilation is currently the only QCD event shape observable for which we know the full analytic result at the next-to-leading order (NLO). In this work we calculate the EEC observable for gluon initiated Higgs decay analytically at NLO in the Higgs Effective Field Theory (HEFT) framework and provide the full results expressed in terms of classical polylogarithms, including the asymptotic behavior in the collinear and back-to-back limits. This observable can be, in principle, measured at the future $e^+e^-$ colliders such as CEPC, ILC, FCC-ee or CLIC. It provides an interesting opportunity to simultaneously probe our understanding of the strong and Higgs sectors and can be used for the determinations of the strong coupling.

The energy-energy correlation (EEC) between two detectors in $e^+e^-$ annihilation was computed analytically at leading order in QCD almost 40 years ago, and numerically at next-to-leading order (NLO) starting in the 1980s. We present the first analy tical result for the EEC at NLO, which is remarkably simple, and facilitates analytical study of the perturbative structure of the EEC. We provide the expansion of EEC in the collinear and back-to-back regions through to next-to-leading power, information which should aid resummation in these regions.
We develop further an approach to computing energy-energy correlations (EEC) directly from finite correlation functions. In this way, one completely avoids infrared divergences. In maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory ($mathcal{N}=4$ sYM), we d erive a new, extremely simple formula relating the EEC to a triple discontinuity of a four-point correlation function. We use this formula to compute the EEC in $mathcal{N}=4$ sYM at next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbation theory. Our result is given by a two-fold integral representation that is straightforwardly evaluated numerically. We find that some of the integration kernels are equivalent to those appearing in sunrise Feynman integrals, which evaluate to elliptic functions. Finally, we use the new formula to provide the expansion of the EEC in the back-to-back and collinear limits.
In this work we complete the investigation of the recently introduced energy-energy correlation (EEC) function in hadronic Higgs decays at next-to-leading order (NLO) in fixed-order perturbation theory in the limit of vanishing light quark masses. Th e full analytic NLO result for the previously unknown EEC in the $H to q bar{q} + X$ channel is given in terms of classical polylogarithms and cross-checked against a numerical calculation. In addition to that, we discuss further corrections to predictions of the Higgs EEC event shape variable, including quark mass corrections, effects of parton shower and hadronization. We also estimate the statistical error on the measurements of the Higgs EEC at future Higgs factories and compare with the current perturbative uncertainty.

I review the calculation of the next-to-leading order behavior of high-energy amplitudes in N=4 SYM and QCD using the operator expansion in Wilson lines.
We present the first fully analytic calculation of the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) event shape observable Energy-Energy Correlation in electron-positron annihilation at Next-To-Leading Order (NLO). This result sheds light on the analytic structure o f the event shape observables beyond Leading Order (LO) and serves as a motivation to employ our methods in the investigation of other event shape observables that so far have not been calculated analytically.
