The B-meson distribution amplitude (DA) is defined as the matrix element of a quark-antiquark bilocal light-cone operator in the heavy-quark effective theory, corresponding to a long-distance component in the factorization formula for exclusive B-mes
on decays. The evolution equation for the B-meson DA is governed by the cusp anomalous dimension as well as the Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi-type anomalous dimension, and these anomalous dimensions give the quasilocal kernel in the coordinate-space representation. We show that this evolution equation can be solved analytically in the coordinate-space, accomplishing the relevant Sudakov resummation at the next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. The quasilocal nature leads to a quite simple form of our solution which determines the B-meson DA with a quark-antiquark light-cone separation $t$ in terms of the DA at a lower renormalization scale $mu$ with smaller interquark separations $zt$ ($z leq 1$). This formula allows us to present rigorous calculation of the B-meson DA at the factorization scale $sim sqrt{m_b Lambda_{rm QCD}}$ for $t$ less than $sim 1$ GeV^{-1}, using the recently obtained operator product expansion of the DA as the input at $mu sim 1$ GeV. We also derive the master formula, which reexpresses the integrals of the DA at $mu sim sqrt{m_b Lambda_{rm QCD}}$ for the factorization formula by the compact integrals of the DA at $mu sim 1$ GeV.
The $B$-meson light-cone distribution amplitude (LCDA) is defined as the matrix element of a quark-antiquark bilocal light-cone operator in the heavy-quark effective theory (HQET) and is a building block of QCD factorization formula for exclusive $B$
-meson decays. When the corresponding bilocal HQET operator has a light-like distance $t$ between the quark and antiquark fields, the scale $sim 1/t$ separates the UV and IR regions, which induce the cusp singularity in radiative corrections and the mixing of multiparticle states in nonperturbative corrections, respectively. We treat the bilocal HQET operator based on the operator product expansion (OPE), disentangling the singularities from the IR and UV regions systematically. The matching at the next-to-leading order $alpha_s$ is performed in the $overline{rm MS}$ scheme with a complete set of local operators of dimension $d le 5$, through a manifestly gauge-invariant calculation organizing all contributions in the coordinate space. The result exhibits the Wilson coefficients with Sudakov-type double logarithms and the higher-dimensional operators with additional gluons. This OPE yields the $B$-meson LCDA for $t$ less than $sim 1$ GeV$^{-1}$, in terms of $bar{Lambda}= m_B - m_b$ and the two additional HQET parameters as matrix elements of dimension-5 operators. The impact of these novel HQET parameters on the integral relevant to exclusive $B$ decays, $lambda_B$, is also discussed.
When the bilocal heavy-quark effective theory (HQET) operator for the B-meson distribution amplitude has a light-like distance t between the quark and antiquark fields, the scale sim 1/t separates the UV and IR regions, which induce the cusp singular
ity in radiative corrections and the mixing of multiparticle states in nonperturbative corrections, respectively. We treat these notorious UV and IR behaviors simultaneously using the operator product expansion, with the local operators of dimension $d le 5$ and radiative corrections at order alpha_s for the corresponding Wilson coefficients. The result is derived in the coordinate space, which manifests the Wilson coefficients with Sudakov-type double logarithms and the higher-dimensional operators with additional gluons. This result yields the B-meson distribution amplitude for t less than sim 1 GeV^{-1}, in terms of $bar{Lambda}=m_B - m_b$ and the two additional HQET parameters as matrix elements of dimension-5 operators. The impact of these novel HQET parameters on the integral relevant to exclusive B decays, lambda_B, is also discussed.
We discuss the double-spin asymmetries in transversely polarized Drell-Yan process, calculating all-order gluon resummation corrections up to the next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. This resummation is relevant when the transverse-momentum $Q_T$ of
the produced lepton pair is small, and reproduces the (fixed-order) next-to-leading QCD corrections upon integrating over $Q_T$. The resummation corrections in $pbar{p}$-collision behave differently compared with $pp$-collision cases, and are small at the kinematics in the proposed GSI experiments. This fact allows us to predict large value of the double-spin asymmetries at GSI, using recent empirical information on the transversity.

We discuss the B-meson light-cone wavefunction relevant for QCD factorization approach for exclusive B-meson decays. We derive the operator product expansion for the B-meson light-cone wavefunction, taking into account the local composite operators o
f dimension less than 6 and calculating the radiative corrections at order alpha_s for the corresponding Wilson coefficients. The result embodies peculiar UV and IR behaviors of the B-meson light-cone wavefunction, the Sudakov-type double logarithmic effects and the mixing of the multiparticle states with additional gluons inside the B meson. The former effects are induced from the cusp singularity in the radiative corrections, while the latter is manifested by the participation of the higher-dimensional operators associated with the nonperturbative structure of the B meson.
