Abstract

We investigate the collinear matching of transverse momentum dependent (TMD) distributions at large values of xx, computing and resumming the leading large-xx asymptotics for matching coefficients. The large-xx resummation is done directly within TMD distributions, ensuring the process-independence of the result. The derived resummation formulas are valid for all TMD distributions (except the pretzelosity). Their application improves perturbative convergence, provides practical estimation for unknown higher-order contributions, and sets restrictions for the nonperturbative part of models. Using the known anomalous dimensions, resummation can reach N3^3LL, often exceeding the accuracy of known coefficient functions.
