We study the resummation of large logarithmic perturbative corrections to the partonic cross sections relevant for the process $pp\ensuremath{\rightarrow}hX$ at high transverse momentum of the hadron $h$. These corrections arise near the threshold for the partonic reaction and are associated with soft-gluon emission. We perform the resummation to next-to-leading logarithmic …
