نویسنده
چکیده
Recent results for the asymptotic behavior of fermion scattering amplitudes in the Sudakov limit are presented including next-to-leading logarithmic corrections. These are used for the analysis of the dominant electroweak corrections to the fermion-antifermion pair production in e + e − annihilation at high energy.

Sudakov Logarithms in Four-Fermion Electroweak Processes at High Energy
We discuss recent results for the asymptotic behavior of fermion scattering amplitudes in the Sudakov limit. The results include next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic electroweak corrections and are used for the analysis of fermion-antifermion pair production in ee annihilation at high energy. The importance of the subleading logarithmic contributions is emphasized and the fermionic contributions...
متن کاملSumming up Subleading Sudakov Logarithms
We apply the strategy of regions within dimensional regularization to find functions involved in evolution equations which govern the asymptotic dynamics of the Abelian form factor and four-fermion amplitude in the SU(N) gauge theory in the Sudakov limit up to the next-to-leading logarithmic approximation. The results are used for the analysis of the dominant electroweak corrections to the ferm...
متن کاملResummation of double logarithms in electroweak high energy processes
At future linear e+e− collider experiments in the TeV range, Sudakov double logarithms originating from massive boson exchange can lead to significant corrections to the cross sections of the observable processes. These effects are important for the high precision objectives of the Next Linear Collider. We use the infrared evolution equation, based on a gauge invariant dispersive method, to obt...
متن کاملNew Insights into the Perturbative Structure of Electroweak Sudakov Logarithms
To match the expected experimental precision at future linear colliders, improved theoretical predictions beyond next-to-leading order are required. At the anticipated energy scale of √ s = 1 TeV the electroweak virtual corrections are strongly enhanced by collinear-soft Sudakov logarithms of the form log(s/M2), with M being the generic mass scale of the W and Z bosons. By choosing an appropria...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will study processes at energies √ s much larger than the masses of the W and Z bosons. Radiative (Sudakov) corrections to such processes contain logarithms L = log(s/M W,Z), and one gets two factors of L for each order in perturbation theory [1]. At LHC energies, these Sudakov corrections are not small — a typical electroweak correction αL/(4π sin θW ) ∼ 0.15 at...
