Small$-x$ Resummation Effects in Electroweak Processes

Abstract

We investigate smallx-x resummation effects in QCD coefficient functions for Z0gZ_0g and WgWg fusion processes, and we compare them with the known ones of γg\gamma g type. We find a strong process dependence, that we argue to be due to the possible presence of collinear singularities for either small or large \k\k of the exchanged gluon. For top quark production, we find that the gg\rattˉgg\ra t\bar{t} and Z0g\rattˉZ_0g\ra t\bar{t} channels have larger resummation enhancements than the Wg\rattˉWg\ra t\bar{t} one.
