Sudakov form factor in effective field theory

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

We discuss the Sudakov form factor in the framework of the soft-collinear effective theory. The running of the short distance coefficient function from high to low scale gives the summation of Sudakov logarithms to all orders. Our discussions concentrate on the factorization and derivation of the renormalization group equation from the effective theory point of view. The intuitive interpretation of the renormalization group method is discussed. We compared our method with other resummation approaches in the literatures.
