Quark beam function at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbative QCD in the generalized large-Nc approximation
Abstract
We present the matching coefficient for the quark beam function at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbative QCD in the generalized large Nc-approximation, Nc Nf 1. Although several refinements are still needed to make this result interesting for phenomenological applications, our computation shows that a fully-differential description of simple color singlet production processes at a hadron collider at N3LO in perturbative QCD is within reach.
