Resummed heavy quark production cross sections to next-to-leading logarithm

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v2

Abstract

We study how next-to-leading logarithms modify predictions from leading logarithmic soft-gluon resummation in the heavy quark production cross section near threshold. Numerical results are presented for top quark production at the Fermilab Tevatron and bottom quark production at fixed-target energies.
