Despite large uncertainties in the $W^\pm$ and $Z^0$ transverse momentum ($q_T$) distributions for $q_T\lsim 10$ GeV, the ratio of the distributions varys little. The uncertainty in the ratio of $W$ to $Z$ $q_T$ distributions is on the…

The Cahn effect and the unintegrated unpolarized parton distribution function $f_{1}^{q}(x,\mathbf{p}_{T})$ are studied in a covariant approach. The Cahn effect is compared with some other effects due to the parton intrinsic motion. The…
