Next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic threshold resummation for deep-inelastic scattering and the Drell-Yan process

Abstract

The soft-gluon resummation exponents G^N in moment space are investigated for the quark coefficient functions in deep-inelastic structure functions and the quark-antiquark contribution to the Drell-Yan cross section dsigma/dM. Employing results from two- and three-loop calculations we obtain the next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic terms alpha_s (alpha_s ln N)^n of G^N to all orders in the strong coupling constant alpha_s. These new contributions facilitate a reliable assessment of the numerical effect and the stability of the large-N expansion.
