Abstract
We study the power corrections for electroweak boson production that are implied by threshold resummation, which we have extended to massive particles produced at measured transverse momentum, , and rapidity. Power corrections in the resulting expressions arise from ambiguities in the low-scale behavior of the perturbative running coupling. Arguing for the relevance of the eikonal approximation, we show that such power corrections begin at order in full QCD, consistent with fixed-order, massive-gluon analysis. For large- Mellin moments, the leading behavior is , which exponentiates along with the logarithms of threshold resummation.
