Abstract

In this article, we investigate the contribution of the higher-twist Feynman diagrams to the large-pT inclusive single meson production cross section in photon-photon collisions and present the general formulas for the higher-twist differential cross sections in case of the running coupling and frozen coupling approaches. The structure of infrared renormalon singularities of the higher-twist subprocess cross section and the resummed expression (the Borel sum) for it are found. We compared the resummed higher-twist cross sections with the ones obtained in the framework of the frozen coupling approach and leading-twist cross section. We obtain, that ratio R=(\ensuremathΣ_M+HT)res/(\ensuremathΣ_M+HT)0, for all values of the transverse momentum pT of the meson identically equivalent to ratio r=(\ensuremathΔMHT)res/(\ensuremathΔMHT)0. It is shown that the resummed result depends on the choice of the meson wave functions used in calculation. Phenomenological effects of the obtained results are discussed.
