Forward Drell-Yan production at high energy can provide important constraints on gluon densities at small $x$, in the saturation regime. In this work we focus on the nuclear modification of this process, which could be measured at the LHC…

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…
We propose the ``naive" $T$-odd Collins-Soper moments in the Drell-Yan process as probes of previously unexplored directions in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) parameter space. We show that the moments $A_6$ and $A_7$ in…
