High-Energy Limit of Mass-Suppressed Amplitudes in Gauge Theories

Abstract: We present a detailed analysis of the factorization and all-order resummation of the double-logarithmic radiative corrections which determine the asymptotic behavior of the gauge theory amplitudes suppressed by the leading power of the fermion mass in the limit of high-energy fixed-angle scattering. The result is applied to estimate the bottom quark mediated contribution to the Higgs boson production in gluon fusion.
