Parallel Session B: TMD theory: DY and DIS
- Piet Mulders (Nikhef and VU University)
Drell-Yan production is one of the precision cornerstones of the LHC, serving as calibration for measurements such as the W-boson mass. Its extreme precision at the level of 1% challenges theory predictions at the highest level. We present the first independent calculation of Drell-Yan production at order $\alpha_s^3$ in transverse-momentum ($q_T$) resummation improved perturbation theory. Our...
Factorization theorems are known to be extremely powerful tools in high-energy particle physics. Processes like SIDIS, Drell-Yan vector-boson production, Higgs-boson production through gluon fusion and $e^+e^-$ to jets and/or hadrons are just some examples of processes that have been thoroughly investigated by applying rigorous factorization formulae. Furthermore, if in these processes the...
Over the years, Soft Collinear Effective Theory (SCET) has been successfully applied to many important observables in collider physics improving the accuracy of fixed-order predictions via the leading power (LP) resummation of large logarithmic contributions which appear in certain regions of phase space. Recently, much interest has gathered in subleading power corrections amongst the...
