We investigate the dependence of the Drell-Yan cross section on lepton polar and azimuthal angles, as generated by the lowest-order QCD annihilation and Compton processes. We focus in particular on the azimuthal-angular distributions, which…
We estimate the power corrections (infrared renormalon contributions) to the coefficient functions for the differential Drell-Yan cross-section $d^2\sigma/dQ^2dy$, where $Q^2$ is the mass squared and $y$ the rapidity of the produced lepton…
The status of various relations among higher order QCD corrections is discussed. In particular, Drell-Levy-Yan relation and Supersymmetric relation are studied at the two-loop level. We have also investigated the validity of such relations…

In the target rest frame and at high energies, Drell-Yan (DY) dilepton production looks like bremsstrahlung of massive photons, rather than parton annihilation. The projectile quark is decomposed into a series of Fock states. Configurations…
The adiabatic connection of density functional theory (DFT) for electronic systems is generalized here to negative values of the coupling strength $\alpha$ (with {\em attractive} electrons). In the extreme limit $\alpha\to-\infty$ a simple…
Dimensional continuation is applied to resummed expressions for the DIS and Drell-Yan partonic cross sections, to regularize the Landau pole. Simple analytic expression are obtained, encoding information about nonperturbative…

Deep inelastic scattering (DIS) samples a part of the wave function of a hadron in the vicinity of the light cone. Lipatov constructed a spin chain which describes the amplitude of DIS in leading logarithmic approximation. Kharzeev and…
We use duality to relate resonances in missing mass $M$ to the large-mass diffraction dissociation of protons. In deep inelastic lepton-hadron scattering (DIS), hadronic resonances are related by duality in $Q^2$ to the low-$x$, smooth…
The forward-backward asymmetry of the Drell-Yan process in dilepton decays at high invariant masses can be used to probe the parton distribution functions at large x. The behavior of three modern PDF sets (CT18NNLO, MSHT20, and NNPDF4.0)…
Forward Drell-Yan process at the LHC is a sensitive tool for investigating higher twist effects in QCD. The expansion of all Drell-Yan structure functions is performed assuming GBW saturation model and the saturation scale plays the role of…
