Threshold resummed and approximate next-to-next-to-leading order results forWþW pair production at the LHC
The next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD radiative corrections to WþW production at hadron colliders are well understood. We combine NLO perturbative QCD calculations with soft-gluon resummation of threshold logarithms to find a next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic (NNLL) prediction for the total cross section and the invariant mass distribution at the LHC. We also obtain approximate next-to-next-tol...
متن کاملAnalytic calculation of prompt photon plus associated heavy flavor at next-to-leading order in QCD.
Contributions through second order, O(as ), in perturbative quantum chromodynamics are calculated analytically for inclusive associated production of a prompt photon and a charm quark at large values of transverse momentum in high energy hadron-hadron collisions. Seven partonic subprocesses contribute at order as 2 . We find important corrections to the lowest order, O(as), subprocess cg→gc . W...
متن کاملThreshold corrections in bottom and charm quark hadroproduction at next-to-next-to-leading order
We calculate threshold soft-gluon corrections to total cross sections and transverse momentum distributions for bottom and charm quark production in fixed-target experiments, considering both pp and π−p interactions. We investigate the quality of the near threshold soft-gluon approximation at next-to-leading order (NLO) and calculate next-to-nextto-leading order (NNLO) corrections through next-...
متن کاملNext - to - next - to - leading order vacuum polarization function of heavy quark near threshold and sum rules for bb̄ system
Next-to-next-to-leading order vacuum polarization function of heavy quark near threshold and sum rules for b ¯ b system. Abstract A correlator of the vector current of a heavy quark is computed analytically near threshold in the next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbative and relativistic expansion that includes α 2 s , α s v and v 2 corrections in the coupling constant and velocity of the he...
متن کاملNext-to-Next-to-Next-to-Leading-Order Soft-Gluon Corrections in Hard-Scattering Processes Near Threshold
I present a unified calculation of soft-gluon corrections to hard-scattering cross sections through next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (NNNLO). Master formulas are derived, from a threshold resummation formalism, that can be applied to total and differential cross sections for hard-scattering processes in hadron colliders. I also present numerical results for charged Higgs production at the ...
