Kaon-Nucleus Drell-Yan Processes and Kaon Structure Functions
We investigate the information which could be obtained from Drell-Yan processes with sufficiently intense beams of charged kaons on isoscalar targets. It is found that combinations of K and K− Drell-Yan measurements on isoscalar nuclear targets would allow one to extract the kaon sea quark distributions. These cross sections are also sensitive to the strange valence quark distribution in the ka...
متن کاملStructure functions in polarized proton-deuteron Drell-Yan processes
Polarized proton-deuteron (pd) Drell-Yan processes are investigated for studying new spin structure of a spin-1 hadron. Our formalism indicates that there exist many structure functions: 108 in general and 22 in the QT-integrated case. A naive parton model suggests that at least one of them should be related to the tensor polarized distributions, which have not been measured at all. There are s...
متن کاملUsing Drell-Yan Processes to Probe Nucleon and Meson Structure Functions
We investigate how Drell-Yan processes can be used to measure the magnitude of flavor symmetry violation in the proton sea. We examine the utility of the following beams: protons, charged pions, and charged kaons. In each case we present an approximate expression for the Drell-Yan asymmetry. Using currently available parton distributions, we locate those kinematic regions which provide the grea...
متن کاملDrell-Yan-like processes and duality
We calculate the gauge invariant Drell-Yan-like hadron tensors. In connection with new COMPASS results, we predict the new single spin asymmetry which probes gluon poles together with chiral-odd and time-odd functions. The relevant pion production as a particular case of Drell-Yan-like process has been discussed. For the meson-induced Drell-Yan process, we model an analog of the twist three dis...
متن کاملElectroweak & QCD corrections to Drell Yan processes
The relevance of single-W and single-Z production processes at hadron colliders is well known: in the present paper the status of theoretical calculations of Drell-Yan processes is summarized and some results on the combination of electroweak and QCD corrections to a sample of observ-ables of the process pp → W ± → µ ± + X at the LHC are discussed. The phenomenological analysis shows that a hig...
