Transverse momentum resummation for color sextet and antitriplet scalar production at the LHC
We study the factorization and resummation of the transverse momentum
spectrum of the color sextet and antitriplet scalars produced at the LHC based
on soft-collinear effective theory. Compared to Z boson and Higgs production, a
soft function is required to account for the soft gluon emission from the
final-state colored scalar. The soft function is calculated at the
next-to-leading order, and the resummation is performed at the approximate
next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. The non-perturbative effects and
PDF uncertainties are also discussed.Comment: 20 pages, 7 figure
Transverse-Momentum Resummation for Gauge Boson Pair Production at the Hadron Collider
We perform the transverse-momentum resummation for , , and
pair productions at the next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy
using soft-collinear effective theory for and
at the LHC, respectively. Especially, this is the
first calculation of transverse-momentum resummation. We also
include the non-perturbative effects and discussions on the PDF uncertainties.
Comparing with the next-to-leading logarithmic results, the
next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic resummation can reduce the dependence of
the transverse-momentum distribution on the factorization scales significantly.
Finally, we find that our numerical results are consistent with data measured
by CMS collaboration for the production, which have been only reported by
the LHC experiments for the unfolded transverse-momentum distribution of the
gauge boson pair production so far, within theoretical and experimental
uncertainties.Comment: 22 pages, 6 figures, re-versio
