The pionic Drell-Yan process: a brief survey

Nuclear Theory 2015-06-16 v1 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology Nuclear Experiment

Abstract

The Drell-Yan process is an invaluable tool for probing the structure of hadrons, and the pion-induced Drell-Yan process is unique in its sensitivity to several subtleties of the partonic structure. This is a brief review of the pionic Drell-Yan process with particular emphasis on the dilepton angular distributions and nuclear modification of the parton distributions (the EMC effect).
