Abstract

The formalism for uniform description of Drell-Yan transverse-momentum spectrum is presented in a framework of High-Energy Factorization, which smoothly interpolates between Collins-Soper-Sterman formalism at qTQ|{\bf q}_T|\ll Q and usual Collinear Parton Model at qTQS|{\bf q}_T|\sim Q\ll \sqrt{S}. The new formula for deriving Unintegrated Parton Distribution Functions(UPDFs) from collinear ones is introduced, which leads to excellent description of the shape of ZZ-boson qT|{\bf q}_T|-spectrum at high energies up to qT/S0.02|{\bf q}_T|/\sqrt{S}\simeq 0.02. Description of normalized qT|{\bf q}_T|-distributions at low energies is achieved via the fit of non-perturbative parameters of quark UPDFs. Reasonable description of angular distributions of leptons in the dilepton center-of-mass frame is also obtained with new UPDFs.
