Abstract We consider the resummation of the logarithmic contributions to the region of small transverse momenta in the distributions of high-mass systems (lepton pairs, vector bosons, Higgs particles, …) produced in hadron collisions. We point out that the resummation formulae that are usually used to compute the distributions in perturbative QCD involve process-dependent form factors and coefficient functions. We present a new universal form of the resummed distribution, in which the dependence on the process is embodied in a single perturbative factor. The new form simplifies the calculation of non-leading logarithms at higher perturbative orders. It can also be useful to systematically implement process-independent non-perturbative effects in transverse-momentum distributions. We also comment on the dependence of these distributions on the factorization and renormalization scales.

- Semi-inclusive processes at low and high transverse momentum (2008, methodology): “rization in the intermediate region M≪ qT ≪ Q. This is not immediately obvious by comparing (3.14) with (3.10), because in the former expression there is no hard and no soft factor. As pointed out in [31], one can however introduce the hard factor into the CSS expression. |H(µ= Q)|2 depends on Qonly”
