QCD Factorized Drell-Yan Cross Section at Large Transverse Momentum
We derive a new factorization formula in perturbative quantum chromodynamics for the Drell-Yan massive lepton-pair cross section as a function of the transverse momentum QT of the pair. When QT is much larger than the pair’s invariant mass Q, this factorization formula systematically resums the logarithmic contributions of the type αs ln (QT /Q 2) to all orders in the strong coupling αs. When Q...
متن کاملIntrinsic transverse momentum and the polarized Drell-Yan process.
In this paper we study the cross section at leading order in 1/Q for polarized Drell-Yan scattering at measured lepton-pair transverse momentum Q T. We find that for a hadron with spin 1/2 the quark content at leading order is described by six distribution functions for each flavor, which depend on both the lightcone momentum fraction x, and the quark transverse momentum k 2 T. These functions ...
متن کاملSingle Transverse-Spin Asymmetry in Drell-Yan Production at Large and Moderate Transverse Momentum
We study the single-transverse spin asymmetry for the Drell-Yan process. We consider production of the lepton pair at large transverse momentum, q⊥ ∼ Q, where Q is the pair’s mass. The spin asymmetry is then of higher twist and may be generated by twist-three quark-gluon correlation functions. Expanding the result for q⊥ ≪ Q, we make contact with the transversemomentum-dependent QCD factorizati...
متن کاملxF dependence of the Drell-Yan transverse momentum broadening
We analyze xF dependence of the Drell-Yan transverse momentum broadening in hadron-nucleus collisions. In terms of generalized factorization theorem, we show that the xF dependence of the transverse momentum broadening, ∆〈q2 T 〉(xF ), can be calculated in perturbative QCD. We demonstrate that ∆〈q2 T 〉(xF ) is a good observable for studying the effects of initial-state multiple scattering and ex...
متن کاملMultiple photon corrections to the neutral-current Drell-Yan process
Precision studies of single W and Z production processes at hadron colliders require progress in the calculation of electroweak radiative corrections. To this end, higherorder QED corrections to the neutral-current Drell-Yan process, due to multiple photon radiation in Z leptonic decays, are calculated. Particular attention is paid to the effects induced by such corrections on the experimental ...
