Factorization allows us to break a collision into several independent pieces. These pieces are often either universal, such that they can be extracted from another experiment, or are directly calculable from field theory. In this talk I will discuss some of the research projects related to factorization that I have worked and am currently working on, focusing on the study of the track-based energy-energy correlator. I will start by introducing Soft-Collinear Effective Theory (SCET) and discussing how it can be used to derive factorization formulas for collider observables in certain kinematic limits. Next, I will explain what track-based observables are, why track-based measurements are sometimes preferred over all-hadron measurements, and I will introduce the formalism necessary for making track-based predictions. We will then apply this formalism to study energy correlators on tracks. I will explain why energy correlators are interesting to study and what techniques we have used to make our theoretical prediction. I will also compare our result to recently reanalyzed archival ALEPH data, showing excellent agreement between theory and data and paving the way for fits of theory parameters. Finally, if time permits, I will discuss the topic of factorization violation. Here I will discuss whether one can make theoretical predictions for collider observables with a large scale hierarchy where factorization does not hold by studying the leading factorization violating terms.
