In this paper, we address the reduced beauty cross section (${\sigma_{red}}^{b\overline{b}}(x, Q^2)$) and the beauty structure function (${F_2}^{b\overline{b}}(x, Q^2)$), to study the beauty content of a proton. We calculate…
This paper is a part of a series of works where we in detail examine the concept of Transverse Momentum Dependent (TMD), or k_T, factorization, which is frequently encountered in the literature and is widely used in the phenomenological…
We study the application of the joint resummation to electroweak boson production at hadron colliders. The joint resummation formalism resums both threshold and transverse momentum corrections to the transverse momentum distribution at…
Endpoint divergences in the convolution integrals appearing in next-to-leading-power factorization theorems prevent a straightforward application of standard methods to resum large logarithmic power-suppressed corrections in collider…
It is shown that the gluons produced with small transverse momenta $k_\perp$ inside a jet ($k_\perp <k_\perp^{cut}$, $k_\perp^{cut} \to 0$) are independently emitted from the primary parton, as QCD coherence suppresses their showering.…
The cross sections describing the transverse momentum distributions of Higgs bosons are discussed within the framework of unintegrated parton distributions obtained from the CCFM equations in the single loop approximation. It is shown how…
We perform an analysis of transverse-momentum dependent parton distribution functions, making use of their renormalization properties in terms of their leading-order anomalous dimensions. We show that the appropriate Wilson line in the…
Explicit applications of factorization theorems for processes at hadron colliders near the hadronic endpoint have largely focused on simple final states with either no jets (e.g., Drell-Yan) or one inclusive jet (e.g., deep inelastic…
We derive the $k_T$ resummation for a transverse-momentum-dependent charmonium wave function, which involves the bottom quark mass $m_b$, the charm quark mass $m_c$, and the charm quark transverse momentum $k_T$, up to the…
We consider Higgs boson production by gluon fusion in hadron collisions. We study the doubly-differential transverse-momentum (q_T) and rapidity (y) distribution of the Higgs boson in perturbative QCD. In the region of small q_T (q_T <<…
Currently, the gluon distribution function is mainly constrained by jet data. Yet, its high-x behaviour is largely unknown. This kinematic region is important, for instance, for the understanding of the production of a massive state at…
In this proceeding we consider QCD radiative corrections to the production of colourless high-mass systems in hadron collisions. At small transverse momentum the logarithmically-enhanced contributions can be organized to all perturbative…
We study the soft gluon radiation effects for the $s$-channel single top quark production at the LHC. By applying the transverse momentum dependent factorization formalism, the large logarithms about the small total transverse momentum…
We resum threshold double logarithms in inclusive production of heavy quarkonium that arise from singularities near the boundary of phase space. This resolves the catastrophic failure in the conventional approach based on fixed-order…
Using a recent calculation of the perturbative hard part for dilepton production that sums large threshold corrections to all orders in perturbative QCD, we compute the corresponding cross sections. The hard part has been evaluated using…
We review the resummation of threshold logarithms for heavy quark, dijet, direct photon, and W boson production cross sections in hadronic collisions. Beyond leading logarithms the resummed cross section is sensitive to the color exchange…
Using the equations of motion of QCD and Lorentz invariance relations, we show a new, more direct way of obtaining the decomposition of the proton's quark transverse angular momentum into its spin and orbital components. The new…
We use Soft Collinear Effective Theory (SCET) to analyze the transverse momentum broadening, or diffusion in transverse momentum space, of an energetic parton propagating through quark-gluon plasma. Since we neglect the radiation of gluons…
In this article, we consider the transverse momentum ($q_T$) distribution of $W$ and $Z$ bosons produced in hadronic collisions. We combine the $q_T$ resummation for QED and QCD radiation including the QED soft emissions from the $W$ boson…
We present analytical expressions for the Transverse Momentum Dependent (TMD, or unintegrated) gluon and quark densities in a proton derived at leading order of QCD running coupling and valid at both small and large x. The calculations are…
