Introduction Introduction

As is well known, in the small-qT region (qT << M) the convergence of the fixed order perturbative expansion in powers

  • f the QCD coupling αs is spoiled by the presence of large

logarithmic terms of the type Lnn[M2/qT

2 ]. And it is known that

the predictivity of perturbative QCD can be recovered through the summation of these logarithmically-enhanced contributions to all

  • rder in αs.

If F(M2,qT,y) is colourless the large contributions can be sistematically resummed to all orders, and the structure of the resummed calculation can be organized in a process-independent form

Small-qT resummation Small-qT resummation

The all-order process-independent form of the resummed calculation has a factorized structure, whose resummation factors are the (quark and gluon) Sudakov form factor, process-independent collinear factors and a process-dependent hard or, more precisely, hard-virtual factor. If F(M2,qT,y) is colourless, the LO cross section is controlled by the partonic subprocess of quark-antiquark annihilation, and (or) gluon fusion.

Summary Summary

We have shown that H

Hc

c F F ( Cth cc→F cc→F ) is directly related in a universal way to the IR

finite part of the all order virtual amplitude Mcc->F Therefore, the all-order scattering amplitude Mcc->F is the sole process- dependent information that is eventually required by the all-order resummation formula The relation between H

Hc

c F F ( Cth cc→F cc→F ) and Mcc->F follows from an universal all-order

factorization formula that originates from factorization properties of soft (and collinear) parton radiation The presented results complete the qT subtraction formalism in explicit form up to full NNLL and NNLO accuracy. The results constitute a necessary ingredient for resummation at N3LL accuracy Similar reasoning and analysis apply to threshold resummation: universal structure of related hard factor Cth

In the case of the Higgs boson production (gg → H), the SV N3LO expression of gF(3)

cc exactly corresponds to the result of the explicit computation performed in

a recent calculation. Anastasiou, Duhr, Dulat, Furlan, Gehrmann, Herzog, Mistlberger (2014)
