On the Sudakov form factor, and a factor of two (2001.04995v4)
Published 14 Jan 2020 in hep-ph and hep-th
Abstract: I answer a question that Roman Jackiw asked me, and I draw some lessons from the answer. The question is: why is the Sudakov form factor larger by a factor of two, if computed for off-shell fermions, in comparison to the on-shell case? The answer sheds some light on the interplay between infrared and collinear singularities -- and the importance of factors of two.
