Consider the total scattering cross section for neutral particles
σ(s) = Z dσ dt dt This integral is dominated by the region t ⌧ s
some measure of traverse momentum transfer at intermediate stage of calculation
t
Break up integral into regions with distinct power counting parameters t ⌧ s λ ≡ t/s s ⇠ t Λ λ ≡ Λ/(t, s) SCET-I,II SCETII-like 1: 2:
Consider region 1: There must exist some underlying hard event which must be integrated out generating some higher dimensional external operator

Strong analogy with NRQCD, Coulomb kernel is dressed by soft gluons
Note that while this operator is at the heart of region 2, it also exists at leading
seed of doubt on factorization proofs.
Note: no hard interactions to all orders in perturbation theory. The scale plays no dynamical role. s = (p1 + p2)2 Consider the dressing of the Glauber kernel by soft gluons M ∼ f(s/t, t/m2) t The scale s can only show up in logs: RG can not hope to capture the logs, need RRG log(p+/ν) + log(p−/ν) + log(t/ν2) = log(s/t) F(s/t) ∼ (s/t)γ Regge behaviour

Not at all obvious that one collinear emission can be matched given that there are non-local TOP’s which contribute in the EFT non-locality only eliminated after using the on-shell condition

At one gluon level this operator reproduces the Lipatov vertex and generalizes it to arbitrary number of gluons. The form is uniquely fixed to all loops as there are no hard corrections to the theory.

Neither integral is well defined. In the Abelian limit the sum of the two integrals is well defined. However to calculate the piece we need the individual diagrams to be well defined

First term in build up of Glauber Phase Is there a Non-Abelian contribution to the phase? Yes coming from soft loops The Abelian phase is universal as it does not care about the the spin of the collinear lines.
We can also consider soft-collinear forward scattering

Just the boost of the previous case, yields the same result but now the the glaubers carry

| k+ − βk− |η
Can tweak regulator to insure homogenous scaling
Gives same result as collinear-collinear
Other source of rapidity divergences are the Wilson lines which need to be regulated
