It discusses the expansion of Feynman diagrams around the high-energy limit, followed by the explicit construction of the effective Lagrangian - first for a scalar theory, then for QCD. The underlying concepts are illustrated with the quark vector form factor at large momentum transfer, and the formalism is applied to compute soft-gluon resummation and to perform transverse-momentum resummation for the Drell-Yan process utilizing renormalization group evolution in SCET. Finally, the infrared structure of n-point gauge-theory amplitudes is analyzed by relating them to effective-theory operators. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis text is suitable for graduate students and non-specialist researchers alike as it requires only basic knowledge of perturbative QCD.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2015-06-09\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319148472\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-14848-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 206\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45369626001548,"sku":"9783319148472","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319148472_1ab0ffd2-617e-49c8-9115-bb484df6e0df.jpg?v=1775673371","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783319148472","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
