Double Asymptotic Scaling in Drell-Yan Processes

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v2

Abstract

Double scaling may be observed in the Drell-Yan process at the Tevatron and in the ALICE detector at the Large Hadron Collider in a window of masses. In the double scaling limit of the cross section, the higher order QCD corrections are quite large, and are driven by the rise in gluon densities in the double scaling regime. The naive parton model cannot be valid even at asymptotic energies in the region of phase space where double scaling holds.
