Abstract

We examine the endpoint region of inclusive deep inelastic scattering at next-to-leading power (NLP). Using a soft-collinear effective theory approach with no explicit soft or collinear modes, we discuss the factorization of the cross section at NLP and show that the overlap subtraction procedure introduced to eliminate double counting of degrees of freedom at leading power ensures that spurious endpoint divergences in the rate cancel at NLP at one loop. For this cancellation to occur at all renormalization scales a nontrivial relation between the anomalous dimensions of the leading and subleading operators is required, which is demonstrated to hold at one loop.
