Sudakov Resummations at Higher Orders ∗
نویسنده
چکیده
We summarize our recent results on the resummation of hard-scattering coefficient functions and on-shell form factors in massless perturbative QCD. The threshold resummation has been extended to the fourth logarithmic order for deep-inelastic scattering, Drell-Yan lepton pair production and Higgs production via gluon-gluon fusion. The leading six infrared pole terms have been derived to all orders in the strong coupling constant for the photon-quark-quark and the (heavy-top) Higgs-gluon-gluon form factors. These results have many implications, most notably they lead to a new best estimate for the Higgs production cross section at the LHC.

Renormalization in momentum dependent resummations
At finite temperature and in non-equilibrium environments we have to resum perturbation theory to avoid infrared divergences. Since resummation shuffles the perturbative orders, renormalizability is a nontrivial issue. In this paper we demonstrate that one can modify any type of resummations – even if it is momentum dependent, or it resums higher point functions – in a way that it is renormaliz...
متن کاملA Variable Flavour Number Scheme for Heavy Quark Production at Small x
We define a new variable flavour number scheme for use in deep inelastic scattering, motivated by the need to consistently implement high energy resummations alongside a fixed order QCD expansion. We define the DIS(χ) scheme at fixed order, and show how to obtain the small x coefficient functions and heavy flavour matrix elements to leading order in the high energy resummation. We then implemen...
متن کاملGeneralized resummation of QCD final-state observables
The resummation of logarithmically-enhanced terms to all perturbative orders is a prerequisite for many studies of QCD final-states. Until now such resummations have always been performed by hand, for a single observable at a time. In this letter we present a general ‘master’ resummation formula (and applicability conditions), suitable for a large class of observables. This makes it possible fo...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Sudakov corrections
For superpartner masses not much heavier than the weak scale M = MW, large logarithmic corrections of the Sudakov type arise at TeV energies. In this paper we discuss the general structure of electroweak supersymmetric (susy) Sudakov corrections in the framework of the infrared evolution equation method. We discuss Yukawa sector Ward-identities which lead to the exponentiation of the subleading...
متن کاملResummations in PDF fits
In this contribution I discuss recent and ongoing progress on the inclusion of resummation effects in the fit of parton distributions. Current state-of-the-art PDF sets [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7] are fitted from data assuming fixed-order theory at LO, NLO or NNLO. The DGLAP evolution is consistently included at LL, NLL or NNLL, respectively. The quest for precision at the LHC often requires theoreti...
