We report the cross section for Drell-Yan pair production in the limit of small x_target is derived in the rest frame of the target hadron. Our calculation is based on the fundamental quantity σ(ρ), the cross section for the scattering of a $$q\bar{q}$$ pair with fixed transverse separation ρ off a hadronic target. As in deep inelastic scattering the result can be given in terms of integrals of σ(ρ). This is consistent with well-known factorization theorems and also relates higher-twist terms in both processes. An analysis of the angular distribution of the produced lepton shows that additional integrals of σ(ρ) can be obtained in the Drell-Yan process, which are not measurable in inclusive deep inelastic scattering.
