SFStefano ForteGRGiovanni RidolfiFVFrancesco Ventola

Key Points

  • The aim is to derive threshold resummation for semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering by leveraging previous works on related processes.
  • Developed threshold resummation techniques for SIDIS based on earlier Drell–Yan results.
  • Analyzed double-soft and single-soft limits involving Bjorken and fragmentation scaling variables.
  • Derived resummed expressions for coefficient functions in various soft radiation limits.
  • Compared results to fixed next-to-next-to-leading order calculations to determine resummation coefficients.
  • Identified that only soft radiation contributes in the double-soft limit.
  • Showed that only collinear radiation contributes in the single-soft limit.
  • Secured explicit resummation coefficients for the nonsinglet channel up to next-to-next-to-leading log.
  • Reproduced next-to-leading power results from single-soft resummation expansion.

Abstract

Abstract 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 fixed rapidity, which is related to SIDIS by crossing. We consider both a double-soft limit, in which both the Bjorken and the fragmentation scaling variables tend to their threshold value, and single soft limits in which either of them does. We show that in the former limit only soft radiation contributes, and in the latter limit only collinear radiation, and we derive resummed expressions for the coefficient functions in all cases. We determine explicitly resummation coefficients in the nonsinglet channel up to next-to-next-to-leading log by comparing to recent fixed next-to-next-to-leading order results. Expanding out the single-soft resummation we reproduce recent next-to-leading power results.
