We show that the resummation of large radiative corrections in QCD processes can be performed both in covariant gauge and in axial gauge. We extend the resummation technique to inclusive processes, concentrating on deeply inelastic…
We consider power-behaved contributions to hard processes in QCD arising from non-perturbative effects at low scales which can be described by introducing the notion of an infrared-finite effective coupling. Our method is based on a…
We present a unified derivation of the resummation of Sudakov logarithms, directly from the factorization properties of cross sections in which they occur. We rederive in this manner the well-known exponentiation of leading and nonleading…
We estimate the power corrections (infrared renormalon contributions) to the coefficient functions for the differential Drell-Yan cross-section $d^2\sigma/dQ^2dy$, where $Q^2$ is the mass squared and $y$ the rapidity of the produced lepton…
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 --…
Power corrections in QCD (both conventional and unconventional ones arising from the ultraviolet region) are discussed within the infrared finite coupling-dispersive approach. It is shown how power corrections in Minkowskian quantities can…
We consider Drell-Yan process in the threshold region $z\to 1$ where large logarithms appear due to soft-gluon radiations. We present a soft-collinear effective theory approach to re-sum these Sudakov-type logarithms following an earlier…
I briefly review three topics of recent interest concerning power corrections, renormalons and Sudakov resummation: (a) $1/Q$ corrections to event shape observables in $e^+ e^-$ annihilation, (b) power corrections in Drell-Yan production…
We present the general expressions for the resummation, up to next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, of Sudakov-type logarithms in processes with an arbirtrary number of hard-scattering partons. These results document the formulae used by…
We study nonperturbative corrections to the transverse momentum distribution of vector bosons in the Drell-Yan process. Factorizing out the Sudakov effects due to soft gluons we express their contribution to the distribution in the form of…
We study the influence of unitarity corrections on the Drell-Yan transverse momentum distribution within the color dipole approach. These unitarity corrections are implemented through the multiple scattering Glauber-Mueller approach, which…
We present threshold enhanced QCD corrections to rapidity distributions of di-leptons in the Drell-Yan process and of Higgs particles in both gluon fusion and bottom quark annihilation processes using Sudakov resummed cross sections. We…
We show that certain general properties of threshold and joint resummations in Drell-Yan cross sections hold as well for their crossed analogs in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering and double-inclusive leptonic annihilation. We show…
We show that the well-known divergence of the perturbative expansion of resummed results for processes such as deep-inelastic scattering and Drell-Yan in the soft limit can be treated by Borel resummation. The divergence in the Borel…
We prove the all-order exponentiation of soft logarithmic corrections to prompt photon production in hadronic collisions, by generalizing an approach previously developed in the context of Drell-Yan production and deep-inelastic scattering.…
