Abstract

The lepton angular distributions of the Drell-Yan process in the fixed-target experiments are investigated by NLO and NNLO perturbative QCD. We present the calculated angular parameters λ\lambda, μ\mu, ν\nu and the degree of violation of the Lam-Tung relation, 1λ2ν1-\lambda-2\nu, for the E615 experiment as well as predictions for the COMPASS experiment. Many salient features of transverse momentum and rapidity dependence could be qualitatively understood by a geometric approach.
