چکیده

We calculate next-to-next-to-leading order soft-gluon corrections to top quark total and differential cross sections in hadron colliders. We increase the accuracy of our previous estimates by including additional subleading terms, including next-to-next-to-next-toleading-logarithmic and some virtual terms. We show that the kinematics dependence of the cross section vanishes near threshold and is reduced away from it. The factorization and renormalization scale dependence of the cross section is also greatly reduced. We present results for the top quark total cross sections and transverse momentum distributions at the Tevatron and the LHC.

Threshold 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-...

Next-to-next-to-leading order soft and virtual corrections for QCD, Higgs and SUSY processes

I review recent advances in the calculation of higher-order soft-gluon corrections for a variety of QCD, Higgs, and SUSY processes in hadron colliders. A unified approach and master formulas for next-to-next-to-leading order soft and virtual corrections are discussed. I present some applications of the formalism to top quark pair production at the Tevatron and the LHC, top production via anomal...

Higher-Order Soft Gluon Corrections in Single Top Quark Production at the CERN LHC

I present a calculation of soft-gluon corrections to single top quark production in pp collisions at the LHC via the Standard Model partonic processes in the t and s channels and associated top quark and W boson production. Higher-order soft-gluon corrections through next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (NNNLO) are calculated at next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) accuracy. The soft-gluon correc...

Next-to-Next-to-Leading-Order Collinear and Soft Gluon Corrections for T-Channel Single Top Quark Production

I present the resummation of collinear and soft gluon corrections to single top quark production in the t channel at next-to-next-to-leading logarithm (NNLL) accuracy using two-loop soft anomalous dimensions. The expansion of the resummed cross section yields approximate next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) cross sections. Numerical results for t-channel single top quark (or single antitop) pro...
