An on-shell approach to factorization

Abstract: Factorization is possible due to the universal behavior of Yang-Mills theories in soft and collinear limits. Here, we take a small step towards a more transparent understanding of these limits by proving a form of perturbative factorization at treelevel using on-shell spinor helicity methods. We present a concrete and self-contained expression of factorization in which matrix elements in QCD are related to products of other matrix elements in QCD up to leading order in a power-counting parameter determined by … Show more

“…These ln(Mb) terms are produced by the radiation of soft and collinear partons (i.e., partons with low transverse momentum k T , say, with k T M) in the inclusive final state X of the inelastic partonic processes a b → QQ + X. Soft and collinear radiation is treated by using the universal (process-independent) all-order factorization formulae [28][29][30][31][32]19,33] of QCD scattering amplitudes. Soft/collinear factorization at the amplitude (and squared amplitude) level is not spoiled by kinematical effects at the cross section level, since we are working in b space (in the small-q T limit, the kinematics of the q T cross section is exactly factorized [4] by the Fourier transformation to b space).…”

“…In fact, the collinear sector in SCET is a boosted copy of QCD [104,[112][113][114]. Realizing this, various next-to-next-to-leading order jet and beam functions were calculated bypassing the use of the more complicated collinear SCET Feynman rules [115][116][117][118][119].…”

“…As with the soft subtraction, this is expected as the jet function is based on the same collinear factorization properties (see ref. [41]) as the collinear subtraction terms.…”
