  1. Drell-Yan Perspectives at FAIR Marco DestefanisUniversità degli Studi di Torino for the PANDA Collaboration Drell-Yan Scattering and the Structure of Hadrons Trento (Italy) May 21-25, 2012

  2. Overview • Motivation • Drell-Yan cross section and azimuthal asymmetries • Experimental scenarios • Drell-Yan process and background @ PANDA • A. Bianconi Drell-Yan generator • Cut studies • Investigation of Drell-Yan asymmetries • Towards antiproton polarized beams • Summary

  3. Motivation • Complete description of the nucleonic structure requires: • Parton Distribution Functions (PDF) • Fragmentation Functions (FF) • Including kT dependence • Transverse Momentum Dependent (TMD) PDF and FF • Test of Universality J. C. Collins and D. E. Soper, Nucl. Phys. B 194, 445 (1982)

  5. R L L R 1/2 1/2 1/2 1/2 Helicity base Twist-2 PDFs: - Δq(x) helicity difference

  6.    -     Helicity base Twist-2 PDFs: off diagonal in the helicity base δq(x) helicity flip

  7. Transversity • δq(x): a chirally-odd, helicityflipdistributionfunction • δg(x): no gluontransversitydistribution; transversely • polarisednucleonshowstransversegluoneffects • at twist-3 (g2) only • SOFFER INEQUALITY • An upper limit: • can beviolatedbyfactorisation at NLO • inequalitypreserved under evolutiontolargerscalesonly

  8. TMD: KT-dependent Parton Distributions Twist-2 PDFs Transversity Sivers Boer-Mulders

  9. TMD PDF Investigation • Process SIDIS → convolution with FF Drell-Yan → PDF only pp annihilations: each valence quark can contribute to the diagram • Energies @ FAIR unique energy range up to s~30 GeV2 with PANDA up to s~200 GeV2 with PAX @ RHIC much higher energies → big contribution from sea-quarks

  10. Drell-Yan Process • Drell-Yan: pp -> +-X Kinematics x1,2 = mom fraction of parton1,2  = x1• x2 = M2/s xF = x1 - x2 Collins-Soper frame Collins-Soper frame: Phys. Rev. D16(1977) 2219.

  11. Drell-Yan Process Gives access to chirally odd functions Transversity No convolution with FF Chirally odd functions are not suppressed (as in DIS)

  12. DIS Process • RHIC energies: √s = 100 GeV -> τ≤ 10-2 -> small x1 and/or x2 • Too small Soffer upper bound on ATT (percent level[1]) • ATT @ RHIC very small, smaller √s would help[2] [1] Martin et al, Phys.Rev. D60 (1999) 117502. [2] Barone, Colarco and Drago, Phys.Rev. D56 (1997) 527.

  13. DIS Process • RHIC energies: √s = 100 GeV -> τ≤ 10-2 -> small x1 and/or x2 • Too small Soffer upper bound on ATT (percent level[1]): • ATT @ RHIC very small, smaller √s would help[2] [1] Martin et al, Phys.Rev. D60 (1999) 117502. [2] Barone, Colarco and Drago, Phys.Rev. D56 (1997) 527.

  14. s=45 GeV2 s=45 GeV2 s=210 GeV2 s=210 GeV2 QCD higher order contributions • cross section affected • K-factors almost spin independent [1] Shimizu et al., hep-ph/0503270 .

  15. QCD contributions to ATT • Contributions drop increasing the energy[1] [1] Shimizu et al., hep-ph/0503270 .

  16. Perturbative Corrections • Smaller at higher energies[1] [1]H. Shimizu et al., Phys. Rev. D71 (2005) 114007

  17. Double Spin Asymmetries @ s = 30, 45 GeV2 [3]Efremov et al, Eur. Phys. J. C 35 (2004) 207. • ATT small at large √s and M2 • due to slow evolution of h1a(x,Q2) • Large ATT expected[1] for √s and • M2 not too large and τ not too • small Q2 = 16 GeV2 Q2 = 9 GeV2 Q2 = 5 GeV2 [1] Shimizu et al., Phys.Rev.D 71 (2005) 114007.
