In cross sections with angular cuts, an intricate pattern of enhanced higher-order corrections known as nonglobal logarithms arises. The leading logarithmic terms were computed numerically two decades ago, but the resummation subleading remained a challenge that we solve in this Letter using renormalization group methods effective field theory.
