Refining threshold resummations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe some recent refinements of the techniques of threshold resummation, with emphasis on the usefulness of dimensional regularization when applied to nonabelian exponentiation. Threshold resummation is now under theoretical control for DIS and electroweak annihilation cross sections all the way to the fourth tower of logarithms and up to corrections suppressed by powers of the threshold variable.

On the kT and threshold resummations
We demonstrate that both the kT and threshold resummations can be performed in the Collins-Soper resummation formalism by evaluating soft gluon emissions with infrared cutoffs for the longitudinal and transverse loop momenta, respectively. The reason the kT resummation for a parton distribution function leads to suppression in the large b region, b being the conjugate variable of the parton tra...

متن کاملResummation of Threshold Corrections for Single-Particle Inclusive Cross Sections
We derive threshold resummations for single-particle and single-jet inclusive cross sections, thus generalizing previous results at fixed invariant mass to a wider class of cross sections with phenomenological interest. We confirm the structure of our resummed expressions by comparison with explicit one-loop calculations for direct photons and heavy quarks.

متن کاملUnification of the K T and Threshold Resummations
We derive a resummation formula for a k T-dependent parton distribution function at threshold, where k T is a parton transverse momentum. The derivation requires infrared cutoffs for both longitudinal and transverse loop momenta as evaluating soft gluon emissions in the Collins-Soper resummation framework. This unified resummation exhibits suppression at large b, b being the conjugate variable ...
