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 the first threshold and jet radius jointly resummed cross section for single-inclusive hadronic jet production. We work at next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy and our framework allows for a systematic extension beyond the…
It is argued that the breakdown of factorization observed recently in the diffractive dijet production in deep inelastic lepton induced and hadron induced processes is naturally explained in the Good-Walker picture of diffraction…
The NLO-QCD correction to single hadron production in deep inelastic scattering is calculated. We require the final state meson to carry a non-vanishing transversal momentum, thus being sensitive to perturbative QCD effects. Factorization…
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…
