Subtraction terms for hadronic production processes at next-to-next-to-leading order
Subtraction terms for hadronic production processes at next-to-next-to-leading order
I describe a subtraction scheme for the next-to-next-to-leading order calculation of single inclusive production at hadron colliders. Such processes include Drell-Yan, ${W}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}},$ Z and Higgs Boson production. The key to such a calculation is a treatment of initial state radiation which preserves the production characteristics, such as the rapidity distribution, …
