چکیده
We discuss the resummation of next-to-leading logarithms (NLL) in heavy quark production near threshold. Results are presented for top quark production at the Fermilab Tevatron.

In the calculation of hadronic cross sections in perturbative QCD one factorizes universal parton distributions from hard-scattering factors which are processdependent and in general involve color exchange. The perturbative expansions for several QCD cross sections near partonic threshold include logarithmic terms which can be resummed to all orders in perturbation theory. Here we will discuss ...
متن کاملHigh-order corrections and subleading logarithms for top quark production
We derive high-order threshold corrections for top quark production in hadronic collisions from resummation calculations. We present analytical expressions for the cross section through next-to-next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N 4 LO) and next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. Special attention is paid to the role of subleading logarithms and how they relate to the convergence of t...

Direct photon production and W + jet production are processes of great interest for a number of reasons. Direct photon production is important for determinations of gluon distributions whileW + jet production is relevant for estimating backgrounds to new physics. Near threshold for the production of the final state in these processes one can resum logarithmic corrections originating from soft g...
متن کاملResummed heavy quark production cross sections to next-to-leading logarithm
We study how next-to-leading logarithms modify predictions from leading logarithmic soft-gluon resummation in the heavy quark production cross section near threshold. Numerical results are presented for top quark production at the Fermilab Tevatron and bottom quark production at fixed-target energies.
متن کاملTwo-loop soft anomalous dimensions and NNLL resummation for heavy quark production
I present results for two-loop soft anomalous dimensions for heavy quark production which control soft-gluon resummation at next-to-next-to-leading-logarithm (NNLL) accuracy. I derive an explicit expression for the exact result and study it numerically for top quark production via e+e− → tt̄, and I construct a surprisingly simple but very accurate approximation. I show that the two-loop soft ano...
