Leading large-x logarithms of the quark-gluon contributions to inclusive Higgs-boson and lepton-pair production
read the original abstract
We present all-order expressions for the leading double-logarithmic threshold contributions to the quark-gluon coefficient functions for inclusive Higgs-boson production in the heavy top-quark limit and for Drell-Yan lepton-pair production. These results have been derived using the structure of the unfactorized cross sections in dimensional regularization and the large-x resummation of the gluon-quark and quark-gluon splitting functions. The resummed coefficient functions, which are identical up to colour factor replacements, are similar to their counterparts in deep-inelastic scattering but slightly more complicated.

Slepton pair production at next-to-leading power
Evaluates next-to-leading power threshold corrections for slepton pair production and finds them significant compared to leading power NLL terms, with underestimated scale errors for large masses.

NLP threshold corrections to W+jet production
Computes helicity-dependent NLP leading logs in W+jet production via spinor shifts and soft quark operators, confirming agreement with a universal NLP structure for massive colourless final states plus jet.
