Higher-order threshold effects to inclusive processes in QCD
Abstract
We present threshold enhanced QCD corrections to inclusive processes such as deep inelastic scattering, Drell-Yan process and Higgs productions through gluon fusion and bottom quark annihilation processes using the resummed cross sections. The resummed cross sections are derived using renormalisation group invariance and mass factorisation theorem that these hard scattering cross sections satisfy and Sudakov resummation of QCD amplitudes. We show how these higher order threshold QCD corrections improve the theoretical predictions for the Higgs production through gluon fusion at hadron colliders.
