THE PIONIC DRELL–YAN PROCESS: A BRIEF SURVEY

W. C. Chang, D. Dutta

Open full text 19 citations

Abstract

The Drell–Yan process is an invaluable tool for probing the structure of hadrons, and the pion-induced Drell–Yan process is unique in its sensitivity to several subtleties of the partonic structure. This is a brief review of the pionic Drell–Yan process with particular emphasis on the dilepton angular distributions and nuclear modification of the parton distributions (the EMC effect).
