Factorization and Resummation in Soft-Collinear Effective Theory
Abstract
We review soft-collinear effective theory (SCET), and apply it to discuss quark electromagnetic form factor, then present the resumed transverse momentum distribution of Higgs-boson production via gluon fusion under this framework, where we derive a relatively full differential formula in transverse momentum space like one which have been obtained by Dokshitzer-D'Yanov-Troyan (DDT) in perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (pQCD). Furthermore, our above result can be generalized to even higher order. Comparing our formula with the integral formula of Collins-Soper-Sterman (CSS) in impact parameter space, we establish the relationship between the anomalous dimension of operator together with matching coefficients in SCET and the well-known coefficients A, B and C in pQCD, which also provides a relative natural and convenient method to treat the similar questions as ones of CSS, such as the matching in nonperturbative region. Finally, the joint resummation method in SCET is briefly discussed.
