abstract

We compute the rapidity distribution of the virtual photon produced in the Drell-Yan process through next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbative QCD. We introduce a powerful new method for calculating differential distributions in hard scattering processes. This method is based upon a generalization of the optical theorem; it allows the integration-by-parts technology developed for multi-loop diagrams to be applied to non-inclusive phase-space integrals, and permits a high degree of automation. We apply our results to the analysis of fixed target experiments.

Threshold resummation of rapidity distributions at fixed partonic rapidity

hep-ph · 2026-01-07 · accept · novelty 6.0

A general all-order expression for threshold resummation of rapidity distributions at fixed partonic rapidity is derived for colorless final states, with NNLL coefficients determined from NNLO Drell-Yan results and shown to match a translated SCET result.
