Description
Transverse momentum spectra of gauge bosons are the primary observables that involve a new class of generalized PDF's called TMDPDF's( Transverse momentum dependent pPDF's) that probe the 3 -dimensional structure of hadrons. Two of the most important of these observables are the Higgs and Drell-Yan transverse momentum spectra. I will talk about the precision calculation of these cross-sections in the low transverse momentum regime using the formalism of Soft Collinear Effective Theory (SCET). I ll present results at NNLL accuracy using different resummation schemes and discuss possible sources or errors in this theoretical computation.
