I. Soft-Collinear Effective TheoryI. Soft-Collinear Effective Theory

The soft-collinear effective theory is a low energy effective theory for collinear and soft particles. (Bauer, Stewart , et al.; Beneke, Neubert….)

(1) It simplifies the proof of factorization theorem at the Lagrangian and operator level.

(2) The summation of large-logs can be performed in a new way.

Form factor

The matrix elements of current operator between initial and final states are represented by different form factors.

Form factors are important dynamical quantity for describing the inner properties of a fundamental or composite particle.

The form factor (only the first term F1(Q2)) in the asymptotic limit q2→∞ is called Sudakov form factor. (in 1956)

The large double-logarithm spoils the convergence of pertubative expansion. The summation to all orders is an exponential function. The form factor is strongly suppressed when Q is large. In phenomenology, it relates to most high energy process in certain momentum regions, DIS, Drell-Yan, pion form factor, etc.

The naïve power counting is strongly modified (at tree level F=1).

• Methods of momentum regions (by Beneke, Smirnov, etc)

The basic idea is to expand the Feynman diagram integrand in the momentum regions which give contributions in dimensional regularization. Each region is involved by one scale.

Evolution

The anomalous dimension depends on the renormalization scale. The exponentiation is due to the RGE. The suppression is caused by the positive anomalous dimension.

Comparisons with other works

1. The leading logarithmic approximation method sums the leading contributions from ladder graphs to all orders. The ladder graphs constitutes a cascade chain: qq->qq->…->qq. There are orderings for Sudakov parameters.

2. Korchemsky et al. used the RGE for a soft function whose evolution is determined by cusp dimension. The cusp dimension contains a geometrical meaning.

endpoint singularity

Factorization of pertubative contributions from the non-perturbative part is invalid. There are soft contributions coming from the endpoint region.

Hard mechanism -- PQCD approach

The transverse momentum are retained, so no endpoint singularity. Sudakov double logarithm corrections are included.


Momentum of one parton in the light meson is small (x->0). Soft interactions between spectator quark in B and soft quark in light meson.

Methods: light cone sum rules, light cone quark model… (lattice QCD is not applicable.)

Zero-bin method by Stewart and Manohar

A collinear quark have non-zero energy. The zero-bin contributions should be subtracted out. After subtracting the zero-bin contributions, the remained is finite and can be factorizable.

Advantage of LC framework

LC Fock space expansion provides a convenient description of a hadron in terms of the fundamental quark and gluon degrees of freedom. The LC wave functions is Lorentz invariant. ψ(xi, k┴i ) is independent of the bound state momentum. The vacuum state is simple, and trivial if no zero-modes. Only dynamical degrees of freedom are remained. for quark: two-component ξ, for gluon: only transverse components A┴.

Disadvantage In perturbation theory, LCQCD provides the equivalent results as the covariant form but in a complicated way.

It’s difficult to solve the LC wave function from the first principle.

LCQCD is the full theory compared to SCET.

LC time-ordered perturbation theory

Diagrams are LC time x+-ordered. (old-fashioned) Particles are on-shell. The three-momentum rather than four- is conserved in each vertex. For each internal particle, there are dynamic and instantaneous lines.

Basic assumptions of LC quark model

Valence quark contribution dominates.

The quark mass is constitute mass which absorbs some dynamic effects.

LC wave functions are Gaussian.

SummarySummary

SCET provides a model-independent analysis of processes with energetic hadrons: proof of factorization theorem, Sudakov resummation, power corrections.

SCET analysis of Sudakov form factor emphasizes the scale point of view.

LC quark model is an appropriate non-perturbative method to study the soft part heavy-to-light form factors at large recoil.

How to treat the endpoint singularity is still a challenge.
