چکیده

We discuss the double-spin asymmetries in transversely polarized Drell-Yan process, calculating all-order gluon resummation corrections up to the next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. This resummation is relevant when the transverse-momentum QT of the produced lepton pair is small, and reproduces the (fixed-order) next-to-leading QCD corrections upon integrating over QT . The resummation corrections in pp̄-collision behave differently compared with pp-collision cases, and are small at the kinematics in the proposed GSI experiments. This fact allows us to predict large value of the double-spin asymmetries at GSI, using recent empirical information on the transversity.

QCD Prediction of AT T for Small QT Dimuon Production in pp and pp̄ Collisions

We present QCD prediction of double-spin asymmetries (ATT ) in transversely polarized Drell-Yan process at small transverse momentum QT of dimuon. Resummation of large logarithmic corrections, relevant in small QT region, is performed up to next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) accuracy. ATT at RHIC, J-PARC and GSI are studied numerically in the corresponding kinematic regions. We show that the lar...

Soft gluon resummation in Drell-Yan dilepton production at small transverse momentum: spin asymmetry and a novel asymptotic formula

We discuss the double-spin asymmetry ATT (QT ) in the transversely polarized Drell-Yan process at small transverse-momentum QT of the produced dilepton. The soft gluon corrections relevant for small QT are resummed to all orders in αs, up to the next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. We show that the soft gluon corrections largely cancel in the spin asymmetry, but the significant corrections sti...

Double–spin Transverse Asymmetries in Drell–yan Processes

We calculate the double–spin transverse asymmetries for the Drell–Yan lepton pair production in pp and p̄p collisions. We assume the transverse and the longitudinal polarization densities to be equal at a very small scale, as it is suggested by confinement model results. Using a global fit for the longitudinal distributions, we find transverse asymmetries of order of 10 at most, in the accessibl...

Nuclear dependence in Drell-Yan transverse momentum distribution

We calculate the nuclear enhancement in Drell-Yan transverse momentum distribution in hadron-nucleus collisions. In terms of multiple scattering picture, we compute the contributions from double scattering. Applying the generalized factorization theorem, we express the nuclear enhancement in terms of twist-4 nuclear parton correlation functions. We demonstrate that these twist-4 nuclear parton ...

Double-Spin Asymmetry ALT for Polarized Drell-Yan Process in pp̄ Collisions: Wandzura-Wilczek Contribution

The longitudinal-transverse spin asymmetry ALT in the polarized Drell-Yan process depends on twist-3 quark distributions of nucleon. In addition to the contributions associated with the twist-3 operators, these distributions contain the “Wandzura-Wilczek (WW)” part, which is determined by a certain integral of twist-2 distributions. The recently obtained empirical information on the transversit...
