We compute the fragmentation functions for the production of a Higgs boson at $\mathcal{O}(y_t^2\alpha_s)$. As part of this calculation, the relevant splitting functions are also derived at the same perturbative order. Our results can be…
We discuss different resummations of large logarithms that arise in hard-scattering cross sections of quarks and gluons in regions of large and small x. The large-x logarithms are typically dominant near threshold for the production of a…

Total resummation of leading logarithms of x contributing to the spin-dependent structure function g_1 ensures its steep rise at small x. DGLAP lacks such a resummation. Instead, the DGLAP expressions for g_1 are complemented with special…
