A simple introduction to soft resummation
Stefano Forte, Giovanni Ridolfi
We provide an elementary pedagogical introduction to some basic concepts and techniques of soft (or Sudakov) resummation, specifically in QCD, paying particular attention to simple…
Soft logarithms in processes with heavy quarks
Daniele Gaggero, Andrea Ghira, Simone Marzani +1
Observables involving heavy quarks can be computed in perturbative QCD in two different approximation schemes: either the quark mass dependence is fully retained, or it is retained…
Resummation effects in the bottom-quark fragmentation function
Fabio Maltoni, Giovanni Ridolfi, Maria Ubiali +1
We compute the perturbative component of the fragmentation function of the quark to the best of the present theoretical knowledge. The fixed-order calculation to order …
False vacuum decay: an introductory review
Federica Devoto, Simone Devoto, Luca Di Luzio +1
We review the description of tunnelling phenomena in the semi-classical approximation in ordinary quantum mechanics and in quantum field theory. In particular, we describe in detai…
Threshold resummation of transverse momentum distributions beyond next-to-leading log
Stefano Forte, Giovanni Ridolfi, Simone Rota
We derive a general expression for the threshold resummation of transverse momentum distributions for processes with a colorless final state, by suitably generalizing the renormali…
A fragmentation-based study of heavy quark production
Giovanni Ridolfi, Maria Ubiali, Marco Zaro
Processes involving heavy quarks are a crucial component of the LHC physics program, both by themselves and as backgrounds for Higgs physics and new physics searches. In this work,…
