We present a new resummation formula for the Drell-Yan cross section. The formal resummation of threshold corrections in Drell-Yan hard-scattering functions produces an exponent with singularities from the infrared pole of the QCD running…
Resummation of large infrared logarithms in perturbation theory can, in certain circumstances, enhance the sensitivity to small gluon momenta and introduce spurious nonperturbative contributions. In particular, different procedures --…
We discuss corrections from the elastic limit (partonic threshold) in hadronic hard-scattering cross sections. We show why these corrections can be large at all orders in perturbation theory, and describe their resummation to arbitrary…
We present a study of the Drell-Yan process in pion-proton collisions including next-to-leading-logarithmic threshold-resummed contributions. We analyze rapidity-integrated as well as rapidity-differential cross sections in the kinematic…
We present a phenomenological study of Drell-Yan pair production at hadron colliders based on the NNLO fixed order calculation and on NNLL resummation of threshold logarithms. We give an argument to prove that resummation effects are…
Partonic cross sections for the production of massive objects in hadronic collisions receive large corrections when the invariant mass of the initial-state partons is just above the production threshold. Since typically the center-of-mass…
We present a computation of the inclusive Drell-Yan production cross-section in perturbative QCD to all orders in the limit of high partonic centre-of-mass energy. We compare our results to the fixed order NLO and NNLO results in MSbar…
We derive threshold resummations for single-particle and single-jet inclusive cross sections, thus generalizing previous results at fixed invariant mass to a wider class of cross sections with phenomenological interest. We confirm the…
The resummed Drell-Yan cross section in the double-logarithmic approximation suffers from infrared renormalons. Their presence was interpreted as an indication for non-perturbative corrections of order $\lqcd/(Q(1-z))$. We find that, once…
We present studies of QCD corrections to dilepton production in transversely polarized pp and \bar{p}p scattering. In particular we briefly discuss the effects of NNLL threshold resummation on the rapidity distribution of the lepton pair.
We construct dijet differential cross sections at large momentum transfer, in which threshold logarithms have been summed to all orders in perturbation theory. This extends previous work on heavy quark production, by treating collinear…
We describe the resummation of singular distributions at partonic threshold in heavy quark production, generalizing results for Drell-Yan and other electroweak hard-scattering processes.
We review recent results in the investigation of threshold logarithms at next-to-leading power considering the case of the Drell-Yan cross section at NNLO. We first show how they can be reproduced with a method of region calculation. Then…
Dimensional continuation is applied to resummed expressions for the DIS and Drell-Yan partonic cross sections, to regularize the Landau pole. Simple analytic expression are obtained, encoding information about nonperturbative…
The techniques leading to the resummation of threshold logarithms in the Drell-Yan cross section and other processes can be used to show that also terms independent on the Mellin variable N exponentiate. Comparison with explicit two-loop…
We present a derivation of the threshold resummation formula for the Drell-Yan rapidity distribution. Our argument is valid for all values of rapidity and to all orders in perturbative QCD and can be applied to all Drell-Yan processes in a…
We apply the method of principal value resummation of large momentum-dependent radiative corrections to the calculation of the Drell Yan cross section. We sum all next-to-leading logarithms and provide numerical results for the resummed…
We discuss the role of infrared renormalons in power corrections to hadronic cross sections, including their universality. We show how perturbative renormalon structure arises near kinematic boundaries in the thrust distribution, the…
We present the resummed predictions for inclusive cross-section for Drell-Yan (DY) production as well as onshell $Z,W^\pm$ productions at next-to-next-to-next-to leading logarithmic (N$^{3}$LL) accuracy. Using the standard techniques, we…
We show that the conventional threshold resummation calculation cannot describe well the low energy Drell-Yan (DY) data without including the non-perturbative correction terms which are deduced from analyzing the asymptotic behavior of the…
