A model-independent way of computing the mass corrections of vector-meson distribution amplitudes is given. The method is based on resummation of (next-to-)leading twist local operator.
Absolute normalisation of the LHC measurements with a precision of O(1%) is desirable but beyond the reach of the present LHC detectors. This series of papers proposes and evaluates a measurement method capable to achieve such a precision…
