Resummed heavy quark production cross sections to next-to-leading logarithm

arXiv:hep-ph/9608343 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.56.1553

Abstract

We study how next-to-leading logarithms modify predictions from leading logarithmic soft-gluon resummation in the heavy quark production cross section near threshold. Numerical results are presented for top quark production at the Fermilab Tevatron and bottom quark production at fixed-target energies.
