Nuclear Enhanced Higher-Twist Effects in the Drell-Yan Process
نویسنده
چکیده
We calculate the Drell-Yan cross section, resolving the full kinematics of the lepton pair, at high transverse momentum for hadron nucleus collisions. We use the general framework of Luo, Qiu and Sterman to calculate double scattering contributions that are of twist-4 and demonstrate their nuclear enhancement. By comparing single and double scattering at RHIC energies we find that double scattering gives contributions of comparable size. We also show that the angular dependence of the Drell-Yan pair discriminates between the various double scattering contributions. PACS numbers: 25.75.-q, 12.38.Bx, 13.85.Qk

Angular Dependence of the Nuclear Enhancement of Drell-Yan Pairs
We calculate the nuclear enhancement in the angular distribution of Drell-Yan pairs produced in proton–nucleus reactions. Nuclear effects are encoded in universal twist-4 parton correlation functions. We find that the Lam-Tung relation for the angular coefficients of the lepton-pair distribution holds for the double-hard, but not for the soft-hard contribution. We also predict that nuclear enha...
متن کاملNuclear 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 ...
متن کاملNuclear dependence in transverse momentum distribution for Drell-Yan pair
Recently, it was found experimentally that the transverse momentum distribution of Drell-Yan pair in hadron-nucleus collisions shows nuclear dependence not linearly proportional to A, the atomic number of the target [1]. In addition, the average of squared transverse momentum, 〈q T 〉, grows approximately as A 1/3 [1,2]. This observed non-linear nuclear dependence indicates that multiple-scatter...
متن کاملDrell-Yan production and Lam-Tung relation in the Color Glass Condensate formalism
We study the Drell-Yan production cross section and structure functions in proton (deuteron)-nucleus collisions using the Color Glass Condensate formalism. The nucleus is treated in the Color Glass Condensate framework which includes both higher twist effects due to the inclusion of multiple scatterings and leading twist pQCD shadowing due to the small x resummation, while the proton (or deuter...
متن کاملDynamic versus Static Hadronic Structure Functions ?
“Static” structure functions are the probabilistic distributions computed from the square of the light-front wavefunctions of the target hadron. In contrast, the “dynamic” structure functions measured in deep inelastic lepton-hadron scattering include the effects of rescattering associated with the Wilson line. Initialand final-state rescattering, neglected in the parton model, can have a profo...
