Threshold Resummation and Rapidity Dependence
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the effects of threshold resummation on the rapidity dependence of singleparticle-inclusive cross sections, using the prompt photon cross section as an example. We make use of the full resummation formula at next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy and develop a new technique for treating rapidity in resummation. We compare our phenomenological results with those of previous studies and discuss differences and similarities of the two existing resummation formalisms.

Top Quark Rapidity Distribution and Forward-backward Asymmetry
I present results for the top quark rapidity distribution at LHC and Tevatron energies, including higher-order corrections from threshold resummation. The next-tonext-to-leading-order (NNLO) soft-gluon corrections at next-to-next-to-leading-logarithm (NNLL) level are added to the NLO result. Theoretical predictions are shown for the rapidity distribution, including the scale dependence of the d...
متن کاملThreshold resummation of Drell-Yan rapidity distributions
We present a derivation of the threshold resummation formula for the Drell-Yan rapidity distribution. Our argument is valid for all values of rapidity and to all orders in perturbative QCD and can be applied to all Drell-Yan processes in a universal way, i.e. both for the production of a virtual photon γ∗ and the production of a vector boson W±, Z. We show that for the fixedtarget experiment E8...
متن کاملThreshold Resummation for Di-hadron Production in Hadronic Collisions
We study the resummation of large logarithmic perturbative corrections to the partonic cross sections relevant for di-hadron production in hadronic collisions, H1H2 → h1h2X, at high invariant mass of the produced hadron pair. These corrections arise near the threshold for the partonic reaction and are associated with soft-gluon emission. We perform the resummation to nextto-leading logarithmic ...
متن کاملResummation and power corrections for factorized cross sections‡
Threshold resummation for factorizable cross sections in hadron-hadron collisions has a number of applications and extensions. We discuss factorization scale dependence, resummation at nonleading power in the moment variable, and the implications of resummation for power corrections in the hard momentum scale. ‡ Talk presented at the “International Europhysics Conference on High Energy Physics”...
متن کاملDynamical Threshold Enhancement and Resummation in Drell-Yan Production
Partonic cross sections for the production of massive objects in hadronic collisions receive large corrections when the invariant mass of the initial-state partons is just above the production threshold. Since typically the center-of-mass energy of the hadronic collision is much higher than the mass of the heavy objects, it is not obvious that these contributions translate into large correction...
