Abstract We derive a general expression for the threshold resummation of transverse momentum distributions for processes with a colorless final state, by suitably generalizing the renormalization-group based approach to threshold resummation previously pursued by two of us. The ensuing expression holds to all logarithmic orders, and it can be used to extend available results in the literature, which only hold up to the next-to-leading log (NLL) level. We check agreement of our result with the existing NLL result, as well as against the known fixed next-to-leading order results for the Higgs transverse momentum distribution in gluon fusion, and we provide explicit expressions at the next-to-next-to-leading log level.

The distribution characteristic of final-state particles is one of the significant parts in high-energy nuclear collisions. The transverse momentum distribution of charged particles carries essential evolution information about the collision system. The Tsallis statistics is used to investigate the transverse momentum distribution of charged particles produced in Xe-Xe collisions at sNN=5.44 TeV. On this basis, we reproduce the nuclear modification factor of the charged particles. The calculated results agree approximately with the experimental data measured by the ALICE Collaboration.

The transverse momentum distribution of charged particles is investigated for gold–gold collisions at [Formula: see text]. A simple parametrization is suggested for the particle distribution based on the nuclear stopping effect. The model can fit very well in both the transverse momentum distributions at different pseudo-rapidities and the pseudo-rapidity distributions at different centralities. The ratio of rapidity distributions for peripheral and central collisions is calculated and compared with the data.

The production of W bosons at large transverse momentum at the Tevatron is dominated by soft-gluon corrections. In this talk we present a calculation of these corrections at next-to-next-to-leading order. The corrections enhance the transverse momentum distribution of the W while reducing the scale dependence.

Abstract Infrared renormalons in Quantum Chromodynamics are associated with non-perturbative corrections to short distance observables. Linear renormalons, i.e. such that the associated non-perturbative corrections scale like one inverse power of the hard scale, can affect at a non-negligible level even the very high-energy phenomena studied at the Large Hadron Collider. Using an Abelian model, we study the presence of linear renormalons in the transverse momentum distribution of a neutral vector boson Z produced in hadronic collisions. We consider a process where the Z transverse momentum is balanced by a sizable recoil against a coloured final state particle. One may worry that such a colour configuration, not being azimuthally symmetric, could generate unbalanced soft radiation, associated in turn with linear infrared renormalons affecting the transverse momentum distribution of the vector boson. We performed a numerical calculation of the renormalon effects for this process in the so-called large b0 limit. We found no evidence of linear renormalons in the transverse momentum distribution of the Z in the large transverse-momentum region, irrespective of rapidity cuts.
