This writeup gives an introduction to the theoretical understanding that lies behind automated resummation. It then discusses its applications to hadron-collider event shapes.
Resummation techniques are essential for high-precision phenomenology at current and future high-energy collider experiments. Perturbative computations of cross sections often suffer from large logarithmic corrections, which must be…
In this talk we discuss gluon radiation in top production and decay. After reviewing results for hadron colliders we consider soft gluon radiation at lepton colliders and present gluon distributions that are potentially sensitive to…
We consider the possible role of rescattering effects in the determination of the gluon density for the LHC from DIS data. We discuss a method that uses results of s-channel calculations to estimate these effects, and comment on potential…
We derive the three loop soft function for inclusive Higgs production in gluon fusion, and use it to perform the resummation of the Higgs cross section at N$^3$LL$^\prime$ in SCET. We improve the accuracy of the resummation by including…
We revisit the calculation of the medium-induced gluon spectrum in a finite QCD and develop a new approach that goes beyond multiple soft scattering approximation. We show by expanding around the harmonic oscillator that the first two…
We develop a unified resummation framework for heavy-meson pair photoproduction that treats soft-gluon radiation in a massive scheme for $|\boldsymbol q| \lesssim m_Q$ and is consistent with the massless limit $m_Q \ll |\boldsymbol q|$,…
We generalise the most extensively used Gunion-Bertsch formula for the soft gluon emission in a perturbative QCD, which could be very important for the phenomenology of the hot and dense matter produced in the heavy-ion collisions.
We study the effect of soft gluon resummation on the gaps-between-jets cross-section at the LHC. We review the theoretical framework that enables one to sum logarithms of the hard scale over the veto scale to all orders in perturbation…
We discuss the generalisation of high-energy resummation to rapidity distributions to leading logarithmic accuracy. We test our procedure applying it to Higgs production in gluon-gluon fusion both with finite top mass and in the infinite…
We compute the threshold-resummed cross section for pseudo-scalar MSSM Higgs boson production by gluon fusion at hadron colliders. The calculation is performed at next-to-next-to leading logarithmic accuracy. We present results for both the…
We study the distributions of leptons from the decay of electroweak vector bosons produced in hadron collisions. The effects of the initial state multiple soft-gluon emission, using the Collins--Soper resummation formalism, are included.…
The spectrum of emitted gluons from the process g+g -> g+g+g has been evaluated by relaxing some of the approximations used in earlier works. The difference in the results from earlier calculations have been pointed out. The formula…
We discuss the procedure to resum large logarithms to all orders for DIS event shape variable distributions. Results are described for two variants of the thrust variable, both defined wrt the boson axis in the current hemisphere of the…
We discuss recursion relations for scattering amplitudes with massive particles of any spin. They are derived via a two-parameter shift of momenta, combining a BCFW-type spinor shift with the soft limit of a massless particle involved in…
We calculate the spectrum of gluons sourced by the branching of an energetic quark in the presence of an inhomogeneous QCD medium, focusing on the soft radiation limit. We take into account multiple soft interactions between the partons and…
We consider soft gluon emission corrections to the production of a top-antitop pair in association with a W boson at the Large Hadron Collider. We obtain a soft-gluon resummation formula for this production process which is valid up to…
We study the effect of soft gluon emission in the hadroproduction of squark-antisquark and gluino-gluino pairs at the next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) accuracy within the framework of the minimal supersymmetric model. The one-loop soft…
The emission of energetic gluons in $\tt$ production in $\ee$ annihilation can have important experimental consequences, in particular on top quark mass measurements. We present compact, analytical expressions for the gluon energy…
We present precise results for the $ZH$ production cross-section and invariant mass distribution at the LHC, taking into account the effects of the leading and sub-leading soft gluons. We improve both quark-initiated and gluon-initiated…
