Threshold Resummation for Drell-Yan Process in Soft-Collinear Effective Theory

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-11 v2

Abstract

We consider Drell-Yan process in the threshold region z1z\to 1 where large logarithms appear due to soft-gluon radiations. We present a soft-collinear effective theory approach to re-sum these Sudakov-type logarithms following an earlier treatment of deep inelastic scattering, and the result is consistent with that obtained earlier through perturbative QCD factorization
