Abstract

We present a formalism that resums both soft-virtual (SV) and next-to-SV (NSV) contributions to all orders in perturbative QCD for the rapidity distribution of any colorless particle produced in hadron colliders. Using state-of-the-art results, we determine the complete NSV contributions to third order in the strong coupling constant for the rapidity distributions for Drell-Yan and for Higgs boson in gluon fusion as well as bottom quark annihilation. Using our all-order z-space result, we show how the NSV contributions can be resummed in two-dimensional Mellin space.
