Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi Evolution and the Renormalization Group Improved Yennie-Frautschi-Suura Theory in QCD

Abstract

We show that the recently derived renormalization group improved Yennie-Frautschi-Suura (YFS) exponentiation of soft $(k_o\to 0)$ gluons in QCD is fully compatible with the usual Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi (DGLAP) evolution of the structure functions of hadrons in the respective hadron-hadron hard interactions. We show how to implement the YFS exponentiation without double or over counting effects already implied by the DGLAP equation. In this way, we arrive at a theory which allows for the development of realistic, multiple gluon Monte Carlo event generators for hard hadron-hadron scattering processes in which the DGLAP evolved structure functions are correctly synthesized with the respective YFS exponentiated soft gluon effects in a rigorous way.Comment: 10 pages, 0 figures, 1 Latex fil
