Threshold resummation of Semi-Inclusive Deep-Inelastic Scattering
Stefano Forte, Giovanni Ridolfi, Francesco Ventola
We derive threshold resummation of semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering (SIDIS), by building upon previous results by some of us for the resummation of the Drell-Yan process at…
Threshold resummation of rapidity distributions at fixed partonic rapidity
Lorenzo De Ros, Stefano Forte, Giovanni Ridolfi +1
We derive a general expression for the resummation of rapidity distributions for processes with a colorless final state, such as Drell-Yan or Higgs production, in the limit in whic…
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…
Theoretical Analysis of Polarized Structure Functions
G. Altarelli, R. D. Ball, S. Forte +1
We review the analysis of polarized structure function data using perturbative QCD at next-to-leading order. We use the most recent experimental data to obtain updated results for…
Asymptotically Free Partons at High Energy
R. D. Ball, S. Forte
We describe the application of renormalization group improved perturbative QCD to inelastic lepton-hadron scattering at high center-of-mass energy but comparatively low photon virt…
A Next-to-Leading Determination of the Singlet Axial Charge and the Polarized Gluon Content of the Nucleon
R. D. Ball, S. Forte, G. Ridolfi
We perform a full next-to-leading analysis of the the available experimental data on the polarized structure function g_1 of the nucleon, and give a precise determination of its si…
Momentum Conservation at Small x
R. D. Ball, S. Forte
We discuss how momentum conservation is implemented in perturbative computations based on expansions of anomalous dimensions appropriate at small . We show that for any given ch…
Determination of alpha_s from F_2^p at HERA
R. D. Ball, S. Forte
We compute the proton structure function F_2^p at small x and large Q^2 at next-to-leading order in alpha_s(Q^2), including summations of all leading and subleading logarithms of Q…
Scale Dependence and Small-x Behaviour of Polarized Parton Distributions
R. D. Ball, S. Forte, G. Ridolfi
We discuss perturbative evolution of the polarized structure function g_1 in the (x,Q^2) plane, with special regard to the small-x region. We determine g_1 in terms of polarized qu…
Summation of Leading Logarithms at Small x
R. D. Ball, S. Forte
We show how perturbation theory may be reorganized to give splitting functions which include order by order convergent sums of all leading logarithms of . This gives a leading t…
Calculating F_2^p at small x and large Q^2
R. D. Ball, S. Forte
We show that the double asymptotic scaling of the HERA structure function data is consistent with pre-HERA data at larger , soft pomeron behaviour at small and a sensible st…
The Rise in F_2^p at HERA
R. D. Ball, S. Forte
We show that the rise in at small and large seen at HERA is indeed the non-Regge double asymptotic scaling behaviour expected from the perturbative emission of st…
Anomalous Evolution of Nonsinglet Nucleon Structure Functions
R. D. Ball, V. Barone, S. Forte +1
We calculate the scale dependence of nonsinglet nucleon structure functions. Due to anomalous axial symmetry breaking a large flavour asymmetry of the quark--antiquark sea is gener…
