Beam thrust cross section for Drell-Yan production at next-to-next-to-leading-logarithmic order.
At the LHC and Tevatron strong initial-state radiation (ISR) plays an important role. It can significantly affect the partonic luminosity available to the hard interaction or contaminate a signal with additional jets and soft radiation. An ideal process to study ISR is isolated Drell-Yan production, pp → Xℓ+ ℓ- without central jets, where the jet veto is provided by the hadronic event shape bea...
متن کاملSoffer’s inequality and the transversely polarized Drell-Yan process at next-to-leading order
We check numerically if Soffer’s inequality for quark distributions is preserved by next-to-leading order QCD evolution. Assuming that the inequality is saturated at a low hadronic scale we estimate the maximal transverse double spin asymmetry for Drell-Yan muon pair production to next-to-leading order accuracy. Address after October 1, 1997: Department of Physics, University of Durham, Durham,...
متن کاملHard exclusive meson production at next - to - leading order
We evaluate perturbative next-to-leading order corrections to the hard exclusive leptoproduction of π + mesons on a transversely polarized proton target. A model dependent study shows that these corrections can be large. We analyze the scale dependence and explore the Brodsky-Lepage-Mackenzie scale setting procedure. Although the predictions for the cross section suffer from theoretical uncerta...
متن کاملNext-to-Next-to-Leading Logarithmic Threshold Resummation for Deep-Inelastic Scattering and the Drell-Yan Process
The soft-gluon resummation exponents G in moment space are investigated for the quark coefficient functions in deep-inelastic structure functions and the quark-antiquark contribution to the Drell-Yan cross section dσ/dM . Employing results from twoand three-loop calculations we obtain the next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic terms αs(αs lnN) n of G to all orders in the strong coupling constant α...
متن کاملSoft and virtual corrections to pp → H + X at next - to - next - to - leading order
The contributions of virtual corrections and soft gluon emission to the inclusive Higgs boson production cross section pp → H +X are computed at next-to-next-to-leading order in the heavy top quark limit. We show that this part of the total cross section is well behaved in the sense of perturbative convergence, with the NNLO corrections amounting to an enhancement of the NLO cross section by ∼ ...
