Angular correlations in the double Drell-Yan process
arXiv:1210.5434 · doi:10.1007/JHEP01(2013)121
Abstract
We study the impact of parton correlations on the double Drell-Yan process, i.e. on the production of two electroweak gauge bosons by double parton scattering in a single proton-proton collision. Spin correlations between two partons in a proton are shown to change the overall rate of the process and to induce characteristic angular correlations between the decay leptons of the two gauge bosons.
