Effects of QCD Resummation on $W^{+}h$ and $t\bar{b}$ Production at the Tevatron

Abstract

The resummation of multiple soft gluon emission affects the production rate and kinematic distributions of $W^{+}h$ (where h is a Higgs boson) and $t\bar{b}$ pairs at the Tevatron with $\sqrt{s}=2$ TeV. Using the Collins-Soper-Sterman resummation formalism, the production rate is enhanced over the next-to-leading-order (NLO) prediction by 2-3% for the $W^{+}h$ process, for Higgs boson masses between 80-120 GeV, and over 3% for the $t\bar{b}$ process for $m_t=175$ GeV. After resummation, the $t\bar{b}$ rate changes by 12-13% when $m_t$ is varied by $\pm 5$ GeV. Various kinematic distributions are presented for the individual final state particles and for the pair. The explicit radiation of hard gluons in NLO QCD is included also for the $t\bar{b}$ final state.
