We propose the measurement of the ratio R{sub CSS}(Q{sub T}{sup min}){equivalent_to}{sigma}(Q{sub T}{gt}Q{sub T}{sup min})/{sigma}{sub total} to study the effects of multiple soft gluon radiation, predicted by QCD, on the transverse momentum (Q{sub T}) distribution of the weak gauge bosons W{sup {plus_minus}} and Z{sup 0} produced at the Tevatron. We compare the prediction of the extended Collins-Soper-Sterman resummation formalism with the next-to-leading and next to next-to-leading order calculations. We show that both the rich dynamics of the QCD multiple soft gluon radiation and the non perturbative sector of QCD can be tested by measuring R{sub CSS} . {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
