Soft-Gluon Resummation in Heavy Quarkonium Physics

Abstract

Soft-gluon resummation within the framework of heavy quarkonium hadroproduction is considered. A few selected cases are studied in detail. A sizeable increase of the cross sections with respect to the next-to-leading order predictions with central factorization/renormalization scale choice can generally be observed. Improvements in the dependence of the cross sections on the two scales, especially when they are kept equal, are also found.Comment: 15 pages, 6 figures, LaTeX2
