We derive the nuclear dependence coefficient $\alpha(q_T)$ for Drell-Yan and J/$\psi$ production. We show that at small $q_T$, the $\alpha(q_T)$ is given by an universal functional form: $\alpha(q_T)=a+b q_T^2$, and the parameters $a$ and…
We extract the pion transverse momentum dependent (TMD) parton distribution by fitting the pion-induced Drell-Yan process within the framework of TMD factorization. The analysis is done at the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) with…
Transverse momentum broadening of fast partons propagating through a large nucleus is proportional to the average color field strength in the nucleus. In this work, the corresponding coefficient is determined in three different frameworks,…

In this paper we study the cross section at leading order in $1/Q$ for polarized Drell-Yan scattering at measured lepton-pair transverse momentum $Q_T$. We find that for a hadron with spin $1/2$ the quark content at leading order is…

The description of the Drell-Yan (DY) transverse momentum spectrum requires matching of fixed order QCD calculations with soft gluon resummation up to all orders in the QCD coupling. It has been noticed in the literature that a consistent…
Partonic cross sections for the production of massive objects in hadronic collisions receive large corrections when the invariant mass of the initial-state partons is just above the production threshold. Since typically the center-of-mass…
