Collinear and Soft Resummation in the Large-X Limit
نویسنده
چکیده
I discuss general unified formulas for resumming collinear and soft contributions to QCD hard scattering cross sections at large x. Expansions of the resummed cross sections to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order are also shown along with applications of the formalism. Presented at DPF 2004, Riverside, California, August 26-31, 2004.

All-order results for soft and collinear gluons
I briefly review some general features and some recent developments concerning the resummation of long-distance singularities in QCD and in more general non-abelian gauge theories. I emphasize the field-theoretical tools of the trade, and focus mostly on the exponentiation of infrared and collinear divergences in amplitudes, which underlies the resummation of large logarithms in the correspondi...
متن کاملSudakov resummation in QCD
In this PhD thesis, we analyze and generalize the renormalization group approach to the resummation of large logarithms in the perturbative expansion due to soft and collinear multiparton emissions. In particular, we present a generalization of this approach to prompt photon production. It is interesting to see that also with the more intricate two-scale kinematics that characterizes prompt pho...
متن کاملTwo-Loop Soft Corrections and Resummation of the Thrust Distribution in the Dijet Region
The thrust distribution in electron-positron annihilation is a classical precision QCD observable. Using renormalization group (RG) evolution in Laplace space, we perform the resummation of logarithmically enhanced corrections in the dijet limit, T → 1 to next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic (NNLL) accuracy. We independently derive the two-loop soft function for the thrust distribution and extra...

When probed near an exclusive boundary of phase space, perturbative partonic hardscattering cross sections for electroweak-boson (γ, W, Z, H) production acquire large logarithmic corrections arising from incomplete cancellations of soft-gluon effects between virtual and real diagrams. The two prominent examples are threshold and recoil corrections. The former are of the form α s ln (1−z)/(1−z) ...
متن کاملSoft-gluon Resummation: a Short Review *
I briefly summarize some general features of soft-gluon contribution to inclusive cross-sections. The discussion includes the issue of soft-gluon singularities in infrared-and collinear-safe observables. All-order resummation and the ensuing varieties of QCD predictions are illustrated.
