Resummation effects in the bottom-quark fragmentation function
Journal of High Energy Physics(2022)
摘要
We compute the perturbative component of the fragmentation function of the b quark to the best of the present theoretical knowledge. The fixed-order calculation to order α_s^2 of the fragmentation function at the initial scale is matched with soft-emission logarithm resummation to next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, so that order- α_s^2 corrections are accounted for exactly, and logarithmically enhanced contributions from loops of b quarks are included. This requires the calculation of the Mellin transform of the order- α_s^2 result in the whole complex plane for the Mellin variable, which we provide for the first time for all the fragmenting partons. Evolution is performed to next-to-next-to-leading log accuracy, and mixing with the gluon fragmentation function is taken into account. The perturbative fragmentation functions are made available via LHAPDF grids.
