Title Introduction to Soft-Collinear Effective Theory Author(s) Becher, Thomas;Broggio, Alessandro;Ferroglia, Andrea Publication Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2015. Description XI, 206 p. 64 illus., 50 illus. in color : online resource Abstract Note Among resummation techniques for perturbative QCD in the context of collider and flavor physics, soft-collinear effective theory (SCET) has emerged as both a powerful and versatile tool, having been applied to a large variety of processes, from B-meson decays to jet production at the LHC.?? This book provides a concise, pedagogical introduction to this technique. It discusses the expansion of Feynman diagrams around the??high-energy limit, followed by the explicit construction of the effective Lagrangian - first for a scalar theory, then for QCD. The underlying concepts are illustrated with the quark vector form factor at large momentum transfer, and the formalism is applied to compute soft-gluon resummation and to perform transverse-momentum resummation for the Drell-Yan process utilizing renormalization group evolution in SCET. Finally, the infrared structure of n-point gauge-theory amplitudes is analyzed by relating them to effective-theory operators. This text is suitable for graduate students and non-specialist researchers alike as it requires only basic knowledge of perturbative QCD ISBN,Price 9783319148489 Keyword(s) 1. EBOOK 2.
