Abstract
We study the phenomenological impact of a recently suggested formalism for the combination of threshold and a so-called threshold-improved transverse momentum resummation, by using it to improve the fixed-order results. This formalism allows for a systematic improvement of the transverse momentum resummation that is valid in the entire range of pT by the inclusion of the threshold contribution. We use the Borel method as a suitable prescription for defining the inverse Mellin and Fourier transforms in the context of combined resummed expression. The study is applied to two QCD processes, namely the Higgs boson produced via gluon fusion and Z boson production via the Drell-Yan mechanism. We compare our results to the standard transverse momentum resummation, as well as to the fixed-order results. We find that the threshold-improved transverse momentum resummation leads to faster perturbative convergence at small pT while the inclusion of threshold resummation improves the agreement with fixed-order calculations at medium and large pT. These effects are more pronounced in the case of Higgs which is known to have slower perturbative convergence.
