Power corrections to the differential Drell-Yan cross section
We estimate the power corrections (infrared renormalon contributions) to the coefficient functions for the differential Drell-Yan cross-section dσ/dQdy, where Q is the mass squared and y the rapidity of the produced lepton pair. We employ the dispersive method based on the analysis of one-loop Feynman graphs containing a massive gluon.
متن کاملHeavy flavor contributions to the Drell-Yan cross section.
We investigate the effect of heavy flavor contributions to vector boson (V = γ, Z, W) production which is described by the Drell-Yan mechanism. All reactions with bottom and top quarks (Q i = b, t) in the final state, like q 1 + ¯ q 2 → V + Q 1 + ¯ Q 2 and g + g → V + Q 1 + ¯ Q 2 , are considered. This study also includes the virtual contributions containing heavy flavor loops which were not ta...
متن کاملDrell-Yan production at threshold to third order in QCD.
The recent computation on the full threshold contributions to Higgs boson production at next to next to next to leading order (N^{3}LO) in QCD contains valuable information on the soft gluons resulting from virtual and real emission partonic subprocesses. We use those from the real emissions to obtain the corresponding soft gluon contributions to Drell-Yan production and determine the missing δ...
متن کاملBeam thrust cross section for Drell-Yan production at next-to-next-to-leading-logarithmic order.
At the LHC and Tevatron strong initial-state radiation (ISR) plays an important role. It can significantly affect the partonic luminosity available to the hard interaction or contaminate a signal with additional jets and soft radiation. An ideal process to study ISR is isolated Drell-Yan production, pp → Xℓ+ ℓ- without central jets, where the jet veto is provided by the hadronic event shape bea...
متن کاملQCD Factorized Drell-Yan Cross Section at Large Transverse Momentum
We derive a new factorization formula in perturbative quantum chromodynamics for the Drell-Yan massive lepton-pair cross section as a function of the transverse momentum QT of the pair. When QT is much larger than the pair’s invariant mass Q, this factorization formula systematically resums the logarithmic contributions of the type αs ln (QT /Q 2) to all orders in the strong coupling αs. When Q...
