In a typical exclusive quarkonium production process, when the center-of-mass energy, s, is much greater than the heavy quark mass m, large kinematic logarithms of s/m2will unavoidably arise at each order of perturbative expansion in the short-distance coefficients of the nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization formalism, which may potentially harm the perturbative expansion. This symptom reflects that the hard regime in NRQCD factorization is too coarse and should be further factorized. We suggest that this regime can be further separated into “hard” and “collinear” degrees of freedom, so that the familiar light-cone approach can be employed to reproduce the NRQCD matching coefficients at the zeroth order of m2/s and order by order in αs. Taking two simple processes, exclusive ηb+γ production in e+e−annihilation and Higgs boson radiative decay into ϒ, as examples, we illustrate how the leading logarithms of s/m2in the NRQCD matching coefficients are identified and summed to all orders in αswith the aid of Brodsky–Lepage evolution equation.
