Resummation of Threshold Double Logarithms in Hadroproduction of Heavy Quarkonium
We resum threshold double logarithms that appear in inclusive production of heavy quarkonium. This resolves the catastrophic failure of fixed-order perturbation theory where quarkonium cross sections at large transverse momentum can turn negative due to large radiative corrections. We find that resummation is imperative for describing measured prompt production rates of J/ψ at large transverse momentum.
