Abstract

Double logarithms resummation has been much studied in inclusive as well as exclusive processes. The Sudakov mechanism has often be the crucial tool to exponentiate potentially large contributions to amplitudes or crosssections near phase-space boundaries. We report on a recent work where a very different pattern emerges : the DVCS quark coefficient function Cq (x,ξ) develops near the particular point x =ξ a non-alternate series in which may be resummed in a cosh factor. This result is at odds with the known result for the corresponding coefficient function for the pion transition form factor near the end point Cq (z) although they are much related through a Cq(Z) correspondence.

Keywords: Collinear gluon radiation, DVCS, quark coefficient function, resummation, semi-eikonal approximation, soft gluon radiation..
