Diphoton production at hadron colliders: transverse-momentum resummation at next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy

Abstract: We consider the transverse-momentum (q<inf>T</inf>) distribution of a diphoton pair produced in hadron collisions. At small values of q<inf>T</inf>, we resum the logarithmically-enhanced perturbative QCD contributions up to next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accura...
