Sudakov Resummation for Electroproduction of Heavy Quarks
نویسندگان
چکیده
The leading and next-to-leading threshold logarithms of the QCD corrections to electroproduction of heavy quarks in single-particle inclusive kinematics are resummed to all orders in perturbation theory. The resummed cross-section is used to derive the NLO and NNLO results near threshold and their numerical impact on the charm structure function is studied. Talk at the ‘6th International Workshop on Deep Inelastic Scattering and QCD ’ (DIS98), Brussels, April 1998 to be published in the proceedings

Soft Gluon Resummation for Heavy Quark Electroproduction
We present the threshold resummation for the cross section for electroproduction of heavy quarks. We work to next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, and in single-particle inclusive kinematics. We provide next-to-leading and next-to-next-to-leading order expansions of our resummed formula, and examine numerically the quality of these finite order approximations. For the case of charm we study the...

We review some techniques of resummation applied to heavy quark production in hadronic scattering and electroproduction near partonic threshold, and discuss the reduction of factorization scale dependence in resummed cross sections.
متن کاملHeavy Quark Production in Deep-Inelastic Scattering at HERA
Charm quarks produced in deep-inelastic scattering have been identified in sizable numbers by the H1 and ZEUS collaborations at HERA [1], and considerably more charm (and bottom) data are anticipated. At the theoretical level the reaction has already been studied extensively. In the framework where the heavy quark is not treated as a parton, leading order (LO) [2] and next-to-leading order (NLO...
متن کاملSudakov Factorization and Resummation
We present a unified derivation of the resummation of Sudakov logarithms, directly from the factorization properties of cross sections in which they occur. We rederive in this manner the well-known exponentiation of leading and nonleading logarithmic enhancements near the edge of phase space for cross sections such as deeply inelastic scattering, which are induced by an electroweak hard scatter...
متن کاملResummation in Hard QCD Processes
We show that the resummation of large radiative corrections in QCD processes can be performed both in covariant gauge and in axial gauge. We extend the resummation technique to inclusive processes, concentrating on deeply inelastic scattering, Drell-Yan production, and inclusive heavy meson decays in end-point regions. Leading and next-to-leading logarithms produced by radiative corrections are...
