Here, \vec{q}_T is the vector sum of the transverse momenta of the boson and the jet. We resum logarithms log(Q/q_T) and logR at next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy including the non-global logarithms, where Q and R are respectively the hard scattering energy and the radius of the jet. I will also talk about the measurement of the jet quenching parameter \hat{q} by studying such events in heavy-ion collisions. M2035 Physics Research Building America/New_York public
