Abstract

Inclusive distribution for lepton pair production was studied in QCD in an improved leading logarithms approximation that allows for large angle gluon correction. A formula is derived for arbitrary values of the dilepton transverse momentum. It does not factorize into the generalized Drell--Yan form. 10 references.

Review of the theory and phenomenology of lepton pair production. [Review Drell-Yan mechanism, parton distribution, gluon radiation, quantum chromodynamics, transverse momentum]

Conference Hwa, R. C.

Recent experimental data and theoretical developments on the production of lepton pairs in hadron collisions are reviewed. With emphasis on the interplay between theory and experiment, the relevance of theoretical calculations to the data available at present energies is critically examined. The Drell--Yan mechanism is found to be phenomenologically dominant provided that the parton distribution functions contain effects of gluon radiation in a narrow cone. Explicit QCD perturbative calculations of the non-Drell--Yan type yield results that are apparently important at large transverse momenta, but are contradicated by subsequent data at 400 GeV and below. A consistent picture in the partonmore »« less

Recent theoretical developments in lepton pair production. [Perturbative, quantum chromodynamics, leading log approximation, total cross sections]

Conference Hwa, R. C.

Various theoretical developments in lepton-pair production during the past year are reviewed. Results of the perturbative QCD investigations both in leading log approximation as well as beyond leading logs are summarized. Their failure to account for the data is described. Two possible views of phenomenological interpretations of the data are discussed. 32 references.

QCD corrections to the Drell-Yan process for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC): Vertex functions and gluon bremsstrahlung

Journal Article Zykunov, V. A., E-mail: vladimir.zykunov@cern.c - Physics of Atomic Nuclei

With an eye to future experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), O(aa{sub s}) QCD corrections to the Drell-Yan process are calculated for vertex functions and gluon bremsstrahlung. Use is made of fully differential cross sections, so that the result obtained in the present study can readily be applied in analyzing experimental data (in correcting data from future experiments at LHC). It is shown both analytically and numerically that the results are independent of unphysical parameters, including the parameter separating the regions of soft and hard gluons and the quark mass. A numerical analysis of radiative effects was performed bymore »« less

Bloch-Nordsieck regularization of QCD transverse-momentum distributions

Journal Article Grau, A ; Pancheri, G ; Srivastava, Y N - Physical Review, D (Particles Fields); (USA)

An expression for transverse-momentum distributions is presented for Drell-Yan-type processes: it is infrared finite, includes soft-gluon summation in the leading-logarithmic approximation and reproduces the first-order perturbative results at large {ital p}{sub {ital T}}. In addition, our expression incorporates soft QCD radiative corrections to that part of the cross section where hard bremsstrahlung dominates. We compute {ital W} transverse-momentum distributions and average values for a set of different energies: {radical}{ital s} =630 GeV, 1.8 TeV, 6 TeV, and 18 TeV.

Single transverse-spin asymmetry in Drell-Yan production at large and moderate transverse momentum

Journal Article Xiangdong, Ji ; Jianwei, Qiu ; Vogelsang, Werner ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We study the single-transverse-spin asymmetry for the Drell-Yan process. We consider production of the lepton pair at large transverse momentum, q{sub perpendicular}{approx}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{sub perpendicular}<<Q, we make contact with the transverse-momentum-dependent QCD factorization involving the so-called Sivers functions. We find that the two mechanisms, quark-gluon correlations on one hand and the Sivers effect on the other, contain the same physics in this region. This ties the two together and imposes an important constraint onmore »« less
