We perform an all-order analysis of double-logarithmic corrections to the so-called soft-overlap contribution to heavy-to-light transition form factors at large hadronic recoil. Specifically, we study $B_c \to \eta_c$ transitions within a…
We study the Semi-Inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering (SIDIS) cross section as a function of the transverse momentum, $q_T$. In order to describe it over a wide region of $q_T$, soft gluon resummation has to be performed. Here we will use…
Double logarithms of $Q^2/m_c^2$ that appear in the cross section for $e^+e^-\to J/\psi + \eta_c$ at next-to-leading order (NLO) in the strong coupling $\alpha_s$ account for the bulk of the NLO correction at $B$-factory energies. (Here,…

Collider observables involving heavy particles are subject to large logarithmic terms near threshold, which must be summed to all orders in perturbation theory to obtain sensible results. Relatively recently, this resummation has been…
