Pion nucleus Drell-Yan process and parton transverse momentum in the pion
Abstract
During the INT-18-3 workshop, we presented an analysis of unpolarized Drell-Yan pair production in pion-nucleus scattering with a particular focus into the pion Transverse Momentum Distributions in view of the future Electron Ion Collider. The transverse distributions of the pion calculated in a Nambu--Jona-Lasinio framework, with Pauli-Villars regularization, were used. The pion Transverse Momentum Distributions evolved up to next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy is then tested against the transverse momentum spectrum of dilepton pairs up to a transverse momentum of 2 GeV. We found a fair agreement with available pion-nucleus data. This contribution joins common efforts from the TMD and the pion structure communities for the Electron Ion Collider.
