Abstract We study the lepto- and hadroproduction of a heavy-quark pair in the ITMD factorization framework for dilute-dense collisions. Due to the presence of a nonzero quark mass and/or nonzero photon virtuality, new contributions appear compared to the cases of photo- and hadroproduction of dijets, for which the ITMD framework was originally derived. These extra terms are sensitive to gluons that are not fully linearly polarized. At small x, those gluons emerge only when all saturation effects are carefully taken into account. Therefore, the resulting contributions are absent in linear small-x frameworks, where gluons are fully linearly polarized. We show, however, that even for large gluon transverse momentum, these contributions are not always negligible, due to the behavior of the off-shell hard factors.

AbstractWe consider QCD radiative corrections to the associated production of a heavy-quark pair ($$Q{{\bar{Q}}}$$ Q Q ¯ ) with a generic colourless system F at hadron colliders. We discuss the resummation formalism for the production of the $$Q{{\bar{Q}}}F$$ Q Q ¯ F system at small values of its total transverse momentum $$q_T$$ q T . We present the results of the corresponding resummation coefficients at next-to-leading and, partly, next-to-next-to-leading order. The perturbative expansion of the resummation formula leads to the explicit ingredients that can be used to apply the $$q_T$$ q T subtraction formalism to fixed-order calculations for this class of processes. We use the $$q_T$$ q T subtraction formalism to perform a fully differential perturbative computation for the production of a top-antitop quark pair and a Higgs boson. At next-to-leading order we compare our results with those obtained with established subtraction methods and we find complete agreement. We present, for the first time, the results for the flavour off-diagonal partonic channels at the next-to-next-to-leading order.

Abstract We study heavy quarkonium production associated with gluons in e+e− annihilation as an illustration of the perturbative QCD (pQCD) factorization approach, which incorporates the first nonleading power in the energy of the produced heavy quark pair. We show how the renormalization of the four-quark operators that define the heavy quark pair fragmentation functions using dimensional regularization induces “evanescent” operators that are absent in four dimensions. We derive closed forms for short-distance coefficients for quark pair production to next-to-leading order ($$ {\alpha}_s^2 $$ α s 2 ) in the relevant color singlet and octet channels. Using non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) to calculate the heavy quark pair fragmentation functions up to v4 in the velocity expansion, we derive analytical results for the differential energy fraction distribution of the heavy quarkonium. Calculations for $$ {}^3{S}_1^{\left[1\right]} $$ 3 S 1 1 and $$ {}^1{S}_0^{\left[8\right]} $$ 1 S 0 8 channels agree with analogous NRQCD analytical results available in the literature, while several color-octet calculations of energy fraction distributions are new. We show that the remaining corrections due to the heavy quark mass fall off rapidly in the energy of the produced state. To explore the importance of evolution at energies much larger than the mass of the heavy quark, we solve the renormalization group equation perturbatively to two-loop order for the $$ {}^1{S}_0^{\left[8\right]} $$ 1 S 0 8 case.

AbstractThe inclusive hadroproduction of two heavy quarks, featuring a large separation in rapidity, is proposed as a novel probe channel of the Balitsky–Fadin–Kuraev–Lipatov (BFKL) approach. In a theoretical setup which includes full resummation of leading logarithms in the center-of-mass energy and partial resummation of the next-to-leading ones, predictions for the cross section and azimuthal coefficients are presented for kinematic configurations typical of current and possible future experimental analyses at the LHC.
