Breakdown of Dimensional Regularization in the Sudakov Problem

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

An explicit example is presented (a one-loop triangle graph) where dimensional regularization fails to regulate the infra-red singularities that emerge at intermediate steps of studying large-Q2Q^2 Sudakov factorization. The mathematical nature of the phenomenon is explained within the framework of the theory of the AsAs-operation.
