Nonperturbative Effect in Threshold Resummation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that the conventional threshold resummation calculation cannot describe well the low energy Drell-Yan (DY) data without including the non-perturbative correction terms which are deduced from analyzing the asymptotic behavior of the resummation formalism. It is demonstrated that the non-perturbative correction is generally small for the large invariant mass DY pairs produced at the Tevatron and the LHC.

Nonperturbative Effects from the Resummation of Perturbation Theory
Using the general argument in Borel resummation of perturbation theory that links the divergent perturbation theory to the nonperturbative effect we argue that the nonperturbative effect associated with the perturbation theory should have a branch cut along the positive real axis in the complex coupling plane. The component in the weak coupling expansion of the nonperturbative amplitude, which ...
متن کاملThreshold resummation in momentum space from effective field theory.
Methods from soft-collinear effective theory are used to perform the threshold resummation of Sudakov logarithms for the deep-inelastic structure function F2(x,Q2) in the end-point region x-->1 directly in momentum space. An explicit all-order formula is derived, which expresses the short-distance coefficient function C in the convolution F2 = C multiply sign in circle phi q in terms of Wilson ...
متن کاملResummation of Threshold Corrections in Qcd to Power Accuracy: the Drell-yan Cross Section as a Case Study
Resummation of large infrared logarithms in perturbation theory can, in certain circumstances, enhance the sensitivity to small gluon momenta and introduce spurious nonperturbative contributions. In particular, different procedures – equivalent in perturbation theory – to organize this resummation can differ by 1/Q power corrections. The question arises whether one can formulate resummation pro...

متن کاملConsistent HTL resummation of the thermodynamical potential
The thermodynamical potential of relativistic plasmas with gauge interaction can be consistently resummed in terms of HTL propagators, which is, without being restricted to it, exemplified for the case of hot QED. The nonperturbative resummation obtained in a Φ-derivable approach is gauge independent, free of thermal divergences and, in the weak-coupling limit, compatible with the leading order...
