چکیده
We show that initial state interactions violate the factorization conjecture for the Drell-Yan process order by order in perturbation theory. We also discuss the effects of elastic and inelastic initial state interactions on the observed cross sections. A Talk Presented by G. T.

Novel QCD Effects from Initial and Final State Interactions
Initial-state and final-state interactions which are conventionally neglected in the parton model, have a profound effect in QCD hard-scattering reactions. The effects, which arise from gluon exchange between the active and spectator quarks, cause leading-twist single-spin asymmetries, diffractive deep inelastic scattering, diffractive hard hadronic reactions, and the breakdown of the Lam-Tung ...
متن کاملInitial-State Interactions and Single-Spin Asymmetries in Drell-Yan Processes
We show that the initial-state interactions from gluon exchange between the incoming quark and the target spectator system lead to leading-twist single-spin asymmetries in the Drell-Yan process H1H ↑ 2 → `+`−X. The QCD initial-state interactions produce a T−odd spin-correlation ~ SH2 · ~ PH1× ~ Q between the target spin and the virtual photon production plane which is not power-law suppressed i...
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 کاملInitial - State Interactions in the Unpolarized Drell - Yan Process ∗
We show that initial-state interactions contribute to the cos 2φ distribution in unpolarized Drell-Yan lepton pair production p p and p p → `+`−X, without suppression. The asymmetry is expressed as a product of chiral-odd distributions h1 (x1, p 2 ⊥) × h ⊥ 1 (x2, k 2 ⊥), where the quark-transversity function h1 (x, p 2 ⊥) is the transverse momentum dependent, light-cone momentum distribution of...
متن کاملQuark Initial State Interaction in Deep Inelastic Scattering and the Drell - Yan process ∗
We pursue a phenomenological study of higher twist effects in high energy processes by taking into account the off-shellness (virtuality) of partons bound in the nucleon. The effect of parton off-shellness in deep inelastic ep → eX scattering (DIS) and the Drell-Yan process (pp → l ¯ lX) is examined. Assuming factorization and a single-parameter Breit-Wigner form for the parton spectral functio...
