Outline
Polarized Antiproton Beam may be available at the proposed new Proton–Antiproton experiments at GSI.
Motivation : GSI experiment proposal
• PAX experiment proposal LoI, hep-ex/0412064,0505054
a) Asymmetric Collider Experiment :
b) Fixed Target Experiment :
polarized antiproton beam and polarized proton beam
polarized antiproton beam with polarized hydrogen gas target
Drell-Yan dilepton production :
measurement of double transverse spin asymmetry
→ measurement of the transversely polarized PDF :
twist-2 distribution functions, chiral-odd, no gluon function, no measurement so far (first indication by HERMES, first measurement by RHIC?)
advantage for the GSI experiments :
→ both valence quark contribution
→ large asymmetry is expected→ large x ~ 0.5 region will be probed
valence quark structure of trans. pol. nucleon
So far, only the tree level estimations have been done (includes J/ψ production)

We examined the first QCD corrections to the Drell-Yan cross section
for the GSI experiment kinematics.
Drell-Yan dilepton production @ GSI
• Fixed order corrections : LO, NLO, NNLO
• Threshold resummation effects : up to NLL (NNLL)

• no factorial growth
• converge asymptotically
• define the perturbative content from resummation formalism

• 1st order exp.⇔NLO, 2nd order exp.⇔NNLO agree very well
• convergency seems good, but need rather higher order

Re-expansion of resummed cross section
Far infra-red cut-off
soft-gluon resummation formula includes far infra-red region, where the perturbative treatment of QCD may not be justified.
may be replaced by non-perturbative approach, power suppressed correction, etc
Apply a explicit cut-off to avoid the double counting between pert. and non-pert.
we don’t know the NP pert yet !
but tentatively it tells “how much the far IR region is
involved?”
CERN-WA39 experiment (‘80)
Drell-Yan dimuon production by π-Tungsten scattering
GRV π-PDF, isospin symmetry and no nuclear effects
Resummation(NLL) reproduce experimental data well
A hint of soft-gluon large enhancement
NNLL resummation
NNLL resummation is now available, since the recent calculation
of three-loop splitting functions by Moch,Vermaseren,Vogt (‘04)
Including
gives the resummation at NNLL accuracy
Vogt(‘01); Catani, de Florian, Grazzini,Nason(’03)
by NNLO DY (also C(2))
Good behavior ! : resummation is stable by including NNLL (~10%) even such a low energy cross section.
scale ambiguities are also reduced significantly.
NNLL resummation (graphs)
• Drell-Yan dilepton production measurement :
double spin asymmetry → transversity distributions
fixed target experiment and/or asymmetric collider
valence quark distributions in valence region
• Polarized Antiproton Beam may be available @ GSI
Summary
• We reported on the QCD corrections to the Drell-Yan cross section at GSI Kinematics
K-factor is very large, significant threshold logs enhancement,far IR cut-off dependence is serious for fixed target case
• ATT ~ 30 % is stable under QCD corrections
• NNLL resummation ~10% gives modest corrections
Scale ambiguities
• Truncation of perturbative series at nth order induce the scale dependence (ambiguity) at n+1th order

Resummed Cross Section with NLO PDFs
→ possible double counting of higher-order enhancement between
partonic CS and PDF
