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 in the hard scattering. The resummation is formulated at next-to-leading logarithmic or higher accuracy in terms of anomalous dimension matrices which describe the factorization of soft gluons from the hard scattering. We give results for the soft anomalous dimension matrices at one loop for the full range of partonic subprocesses involved in heavy quark, dijet, direct photon, and W boson production. We discuss the general diagonalization procedure that can be implemented for the calculation of the resummed cross-sections, and we give numerical results for top quark production at the Fermilab Tevatron. We also present analytical results for the one- and two-loop expansions of the resummed cross-sections.

W Boson Production

In this paper the analysis of W-boson production process in high-energy electron-photon collisions as a tool to search for deviations from the Standard Model is considered. In particular, a set of extended gauge models, including anomalous multi-boson interactions, are discussed as a promising way for «new physics» study. A numerical analysis of the total cross sections of the processes was carried out. The lowest order radiative corrections in the soft-photon approximation within the Standard Model are taken into account. Calculations beyond the Standard Model was performed, the kinematic features of the cross sections were identified. The restrictions on the anomalous triple gauge boson coupling constants were analyzed and the kinematic areas to the search for their manifestations were obtained during the experiments at the International Linear Collider. The paper shows that the search for «new physics» effects based on electron-photon collisions around the W-boson production peak is the maximal promising. It was also shown that future experiments at high luminosity linear colliders will significantly clarify the constraints on anomalous gauge coupling constants.

Characteristic Features

The hard scattering formalism is introduced, starting from a physical picture based on the idea of equivalent quanta borrowed from QED, and the notion of characteristic times. Contact to the standard QCD treatment is made after discussing the running coupling and the Altarelli–Parisi equations for the evolution of parton distribution functions, both for QED and QCD. This allows a development of a space-time picture for hard interactions in hadron collisions, integrating hard production cross sections, initial and final state radiation, hadronization, and multiple parton scattering. The production of a W boson at leading and next-to leading order in QCD is used to exemplify characteristic features of fixed-order perturbation theory, and the results are used for some first phenomenological considerations. After that, the analytic resummation of the W boson transverse momentum is introduced, giving rise to the notion of a Sudakov form factor. The probabilistic interpretation of the Sudakov form factor is used to discuss patterns in jet production in electron-positron annihilation.

Abstract We present predictions for heavy-quark production at the Large Hadron Collider making use of the $$ \overline{\mathrm{MS}} $$ MS ¯ and MSR renormalization schemes for the heavy-quark mass as alternatives to the widely used on-shell renormalization scheme. We compute single and double differential distributions including QCD corrections at next-to-leading order and investigate the renormalization and factorization scale dependence as well as the perturbative convergence in these mass renormalization schemes. The implementation is based on publicly available programs, MCFM and xFitter, extending their capabilities. Our results are applied to extract the top-quark mass using measurements of the total and differential $$ t\overline{t} $$ t t ¯ production cross-sections and to investigate constraints on parton distribution functions, especially on the gluon distribution at low x values, from available LHC data on heavy-flavor hadro-production.
