Antenna Factorization in Strongly-Ordered Limits

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-10 v2

Abstract

When energies or angles of gluons emitted in a gauge-theory process are small and strongly ordered, the emission factorizes in a simple way to all orders in perturbation theory. I show how to unify the various strongly-ordered soft, mixed soft-collinear, and collinear limits using antenna factorization amplitudes, which are generalizations of the Catani--Seymour dipole factorization function.
