Abstract: (Elsevier)
We study the region of inhibited radiation in hard hadronic processes, as for jet cross sections and heavy flavour production near threshold. The cases of deep inelastic scattering and Drell-Yan annihilation are explicitly considered. A general method to exponentiate leading and next-to-leading logarithms to all orders in perturbation theory is developed. A complete formula for the large N -moments is given and shown to agree with previous two-loop calculations. The resummation procedure suggests how to connect the perturbative and nonperturbative regions. The natural limit within the perturbative phase is shown to be the intrinsic transverse momentum.- hadron hadron: interaction
