An Effective field theory for collinear and soft gluons: Heavy to light decays
TLDR
In this paper, the Lagrangian was constructed for an effective theory of highly energetic quarks with energy Q, interacting with collinear and soft gluons, and the heavy to light currents were matched onto operators in the effective theory at one loop.Abstract:
We construct the Lagrangian for an effective theory of highly energetic quarks with energy Q, interacting with collinear and soft gluons. This theory has two low energy scales, the transverse momentum of the collinear particles, ${p}_{\ensuremath{\perp}},$ and the scale ${p}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}^{2}/Q.$ The heavy to light currents are matched onto operators in the effective theory at one loop and the renormalization group equations for the corresponding Wilson coefficients are solved. This running is used to sum Sudakov logarithms in inclusive $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{B}{X}_{s}\ensuremath{\gamma}$ and $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{B}{X}_{u}l\overline{\ensuremath{\nu}}$ decays. We also show that the interactions with collinear gluons preserve the relations for the soft part of the form factors for heavy-to-light decays found by Charles et al. [Phys. Rev. D 60, 014001 (1999)], establishing these relations in the large energy limit of QCD.read more

Invariant operators in collinear effective theory
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider processes which produce final state hadrons whose energy is much greater than their mass and give a general set of rules for constructing leading and sub-leading invariant operators.

Hard scattering factorization from effective field theory
TL;DR: In this article, the soft-collinear effective theory is used to simplify proofs of factorization formulas in highly energetic hadronic processes, and the formalism is applicable to both exclusive and inclusive factorization.
