We present a subtraction scheme relevant for NNLO perturbative calculations in $e^+e^- \\to $ jets. The building blocks of the scheme are antenna functions derived from the matrix elements for tree-level $1\\to 3$ and $1 \\to 4$ and one-loop $1 \\to 3$ processes. By construction, these building blocks have the correct infrared behaviour when one or two particles are unresolved. At the same time, their integral over the antenna phase space is straightforward. As an example of how to use the scheme we compute the NNLO contributions to the subleading colour QED-like contribution to $e^+e^- \\to 3$ jets. To illustrate the application of NNLO antenna subtraction for different colour structures, we construct the integrated forms of the subtraction terms needed for the five-parton and four-parton contributions to $e^+e^- \\to 3$ jets at NNLO in all colour factors, and show that their infrared poles cancel analytically with the infrared poles of the two-loop virtual correction to this observable.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/0505111v3","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-ph/0505111v3.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"antenna-subtraction-at-nnlo","repo_url":"https://github.com/htruong0/fame_antenna","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"tf","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
