Drell-Yan phenomenology in the color dipole picture revisited

Abstract

An extensive phenomenological study of the Drell-Yan (DY) process in $pp$ collisions at various energies is performed in the color dipole framework. Besides previously studied ${\gamma }^{\ast }$ production we have also included the $Z^0$ contribution relevant at large dilepton invariant masses. We investigate the DY cross section differential in invariant mass, rapidity and transverse momentum of the dilepton pair in $pp$ collisions at RHIC and LHC. We consider three different phenomenological models for the dipole cross section and found a reasonable agreement with the available data. As a further test of the color dipole formalism, we also study the correlation function in azimuthal angle between the dilepton pair and a forward pion $\Delta \varphi$ for different energies, dilepton rapidites and invariant masses. The characteristic double-peak structure of the correlation function around $\Delta \varphi \simeq \pi$ found for very forward pions and low-mass dilepton pairs is sensitive to the saturation effects and can be tested by future DY measurements in $pp$ collisions.
