Description

We use a recent approach to threshold soft gluon resummation, based on effective field theory, to quantify the dynamical enhancement of the partonic threshold region for Drell-Yan and slepton pair production in supersymmetry. We evaluate the resummed invariant mass distribution and cross section at the NNLL order, and match the result onto NLO fixed-order calculation.
