We derive the set of kinetic equations that control the evolution of gluons in the presence of a condensate. We show that the dominant singularities remain logarithmic when the scattering involves particles in the condensate. This allows us…

The transverse-momentum ($Q_T$) distribution of low-mass Drell-Yan pairs is calculated in QCD perturbation theory with all-order resummation of $\alpha_s (\alpha_s \ln(Q^2_T/Q^2))^n$ type terms. We demonstrate that the rapidity distribution…
