Soft Gluon Resummation for Heavy Quark Electroproduction
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the threshold resummation for the cross section for electroproduction of heavy quarks. We work to next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, and in single-particle inclusive kinematics. We provide next-to-leading and next-to-next-to-leading order expansions of our resummed formula, and examine numerically the quality of these finite order approximations. For the case of charm we study their impact on the structure function F2 and its differential distribution with respect to the charm transverse momentum.

We study soft-gluon radiation for heavy quark production in charged-current Deep Inelastic Scattering processes. We resum large-x contributions to the MS coefficient function to next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy and present results for charm quark structure functions for several values of the ratio mc/Q. The effect of soft resummation turns out to be visible, especially at small Q, and the r...

Abstract: We discuss the resummation of threshold logarithms for heavy quark and dijet cross sections in hadronic collisions. The resummed cross sections are presented at next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy in terms of anomalous dimension matrices which describe the factorization of soft gluons from the hard scattering. We apply our formalism to the calculation of the top quark production cros...
متن کاملSoft-gluon resummation for heavy quark production in hadronic collisions
We discuss the heavy quark production cross section near partonic threshold in hadronic collisions, including the resummation of leading and next-to-leading logarithms arising from soft gluon emission. We show how to handle the complications due to the non-universal nonleading logarithms. We give analytical results for the qq̄ partonic subprocess and numerical results in the DIS scheme for top q...
