Abstract

We show, by a direct examination of Feynman graphs, that lowest-order Sudakov effects factorize from Glauber-region gluons in quark-hadron scattering. We then find that the Sudakov double logarithms cancel. This result is consistent with order-by-order factorization in perturbation theory for the Drell-Yan process.
