We review the factorization theorem for the production of a heavy color-neutral final state with a transverse momentum much smaller than its invariant mass in the framework of soft collinear effective field theory (SCET). This phase space region is plagued by large logarithms of widely separated scales, including large logarithms of rapidity ratios, that need to be resummed for sensible results. I

Vildsvin är det klövvilt som idag ökar snabbast i Sverige. Den markanta populationsökningen är delvis hänförbar till den utbreda utfodring av vildsvin som görs av markägare och jägare.
