Effects of threshold resummation
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate effects of threshold resummation of logarithmic corrections lnN in Mellin space quantitatively. Threshold resummation leads to enhancement of next-to-leading-order QCD predictions for jet production at large jet transverse energy, which is in the trend indicated by experimental data. We show that this enhancement is completely determined by the behavior of threshold resummation at small N , the region where hierachy among different powers of lnN is lost and current next-to-leading-logarithm resummation is not reliable. Our analysis indicates that more accurate threshold resummation formalism should be developed in order to obtain convincing predictions. [email protected] [email protected]

Threshold Resummation and Rapidity Dependence
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 di...
متن کاملCoulomb resummation for bb̄ system near threshold and precision determination
Coulomb resummation for b ¯ b system near threshold and precision determination of α s and m b. Abstract We analyze sum rules for the Υ system with resummation of threshold effects on the basis of the nonrelativistic Coulomb approximation. We find for the pole mass of the bottom quark m b = 4.75 ± 0.04 GeV and for the strong coupling constant α s (M Z) = 0.118 ± 0.006. The origin of the contrad...

متن کاملThreshold Resummation of Soft Gluons in Hadronic Reactions – an Introduction
I discuss the motivation for resummation of the effects of initial-state soft gluon radiation, to all orders in the strong coupling strength, for processes in which the near-threshold region in the partonic subenergy is important. I summarize the method of “perturbative resummation” and its application to the calculation of the total cross section for top quark production at hadron colliders. C...
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 ...
