Abstract
We exhibit a method for simultaneously treating recoil and threshold corrections in single-photon inclusive cross sections, working within the formalism of collinear factorization. This approach conserves both the energy and transverse momentum of resummed radiation. At moderate p_T, we find the potential for substantial enhancements from higher-order perturbative and power-law nonperturbative corrections.
