World-line techniques for resumming gluon radiative corrections at the cross-section level

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-01-07 v1

Abstract

We employ the Polyakov world-line path-integral version of QCD to identify and resum at leading perturbative order enhanced radiative gluon contributions to the Drell-Yan type (qqˉq\bar{q} pair annihilation) cross-sections. We emphasize that this is the first time that world-line techniques are applied to cross-section calculations.
