Hadronic production of and bosons at large transverse momentum
Abstract
We propose a modified factorization formalism in quantum chromodynamics for hadronic production of and bosons at large transverse momentum . When is much larger than the invariant mass of the vector boson, this new factorization formalism systematically resums the large fragmentation logarithms, , to all orders in the strong coupling . Using our modified factorization formalism, we present the next-to-leading-order (NLO) predictions for and boson production at high at the CERN Large Hadron Collider and at a future 100 TeV proton-proton collider. Our NLO results are about 5% larger in normalization, and they reflect improved convergence and moderate reduction of the scale variation compared to the NLO predictions derived in a conventional fixed-order perturbative expansion.
