Factorization and Resummation in Soft-Collinear Effective Theory∗ Yang Gao, Chong Sheng Li, and Jian Jun Liu Department of Physics, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China (Dated: February 2, 2008) 5 Abstract 0 0 We review soft-collinear effective theory (SCET), and apply it to discuss quark electromagnetic 2 r form factor, then present the resumed transverse momentum distribution of Higgs-boson production p A via gluon fusion under this framework, where we derive a relatively full differential formula in 5 2 transverse momentum QT space like one which have been obtained by Dokshitzer-D’Yanov-Troyan 1 (DDT) in perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (pQCD). Furthermore, our above result can be v 7 generalized to even higher order. Comparing our formula with the integral formula of Collins-Soper- 1 2 Sterman (CSS) in impact parameter b space, we establish the relationship between the anomalous 4 0 dimension of operator together with matching coefficients in SCET and the well-known coefficients 5 0 A, B and C in pQCD, which also provides a relative natural and convenient method to treat the / h p similar questions as ones of CSS, such as the matching in nonperturbative region. Finally, the joint - p resummation method in SCET is briefly discussed. e h : v i X r a ∗ Talk given by Chong Sheng Li at the Workshop on the Frontiers of Theoretical Physics and Cross- Disciplinary, NFSC, P.R.China, Beijing, March 2005, published in the Proceedings, 124-136 1 I.
