Description
I will present a framework to resum electroweak logarithms in inclusive processes, that we recently developed in arXiv:1802.08687 and for which we calculated all ingredients at NLL order. If only the invariant mass of the final-state is measured, all electroweak logarithms can be resummed by the PDF evolution. However, simply identifying e.g. a lepton in the final state requires the corresponding fragmentation function and introduces an angular dependence through the exchange of soft gauge bosons. I will also discuss a few extensions, including jets and how to calculate the EW logarithms when one is fully exclusive in the central (detector) region and fully inclusive in the forward (beam) regions.
