Meson Production in Proton-Proton Collisions in the Naive Non-Abelianization Approximation and the Role of Infrared Renormalons

We calculate the "naive non-abelianization" (NNA) contributions of the higher-twist Feynman diagrams to the large-$p_T$ inclusive pion production cross section in proton-proton collisions in the case of the running coupling and frozen coupling approaches. We compare the resummed "naive non-abelianization" higher-twist cross sections with the ones obtained in the framework of the frozen coupling approach and leading-twist cross section. The structure of infrared renormalon singularities of the higher twist subprocess cross section and it's resummed expression are found. We discuss the phenomenological consequences of possible higher-twist contributions to the pion production in proton-proton collisions in within NNA.
