Next-to-next-to-leading-order soft-gluon corrections in direct photon production
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract Previous work on soft-gluon resummation for direct photon production is extended to include additional subleading logarithmic terms through O(ααs) and some representative comparisons are made to experimental results from the E-706 and UA-6 Collaborations. The additional terms are small in magnitude, indicating good convergence properties to the level of accuracy calculated. The scale dependence remains much smaller than that of the next-to-leading-order calculation.

NNLO results for heavy quark and direct photon production near threshold
Heavy quark and direct photon production in hadronic collisions are processes of great interest. The discovery of the top has increased efforts in the calculation of heavy quark production cross sections while direct photon production is important for determinations of gluon distributions. Near threshold for the production of the final state in these processes one can resum logarithmic correcti...

Direct photon production and W + jet production are processes of great interest for a number of reasons. Direct photon production is important for determinations of gluon distributions whileW + jet production is relevant for estimating backgrounds to new physics. Near threshold for the production of the final state in these processes one can resum logarithmic corrections originating from soft g...
متن کاملSoft-gluon resummation and NNLO corrections for direct photon production
The resummation of threshold logarithms for direct photon production cross sections in hadronic collisions is presented. The resummation is based on the factorization properties of the cross section and is formulated at next-to-leading logarithmic or higher accuracy. Full analytical and numerical results for the next-to-next-toleading order expansion of the resummed cross section are given. A s...
متن کاملHigher-Order Soft Gluon Corrections in Single Top Quark Production at the CERN LHC
I present a calculation of soft-gluon corrections to single top quark production in pp collisions at the LHC via the Standard Model partonic processes in the t and s channels and associated top quark and W boson production. Higher-order soft-gluon corrections through next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (NNNLO) are calculated at next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) accuracy. The soft-gluon correc...
