  We analyze transverse thrust in the framework of Soft Collinear Effective
Theory and obtain a factorized expression for the cross section that permits
resummation of terms enhanced in the dijet limit to arbitrary accuracy. The
factorization theorem for this hadron-collider event-shape variable involves
collinear emissions at different virtualities and suffers from a collinear
anomaly. We compute all its ingredients at the one-loop order, and show that
the two-loop input for next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy can be
extracted numerically, from existing fixed-order codes.
