Transverse-momentum resummation for heavy-quark hadroproduction

We consider the production of a pair of heavy quarks (QQ¯) in hadronic collisions. When the transverse momentum qT of the heavy-quark pair is much smaller than its invariant mass, the QCD perturbative expansion is affected by large logarithmic terms that must be resummed to all orders. This behavior...
