The resummation of the low-phistar domain of Z production

The presence of large logarithms in QCD corrections to observables spoils the validity of a calculation truncated at finite order and calls for an all-orders approach. The transverse momentum, Qₜ, spectrum of massive lepton pairs, produced in hadron colliders by the Drell-Yan mechanism, has received a great deal of attention in electroweak phenomenology. We present and discuss a next-to-next-to-leading log (NNLL) resummed calculation of a related observable, namely ϕ* (phistar), that was recently introduced because of its distinct experimental advantages, but which is nonetheless sensitive to similar physics: soft-collinear gluon emission in the initial state. We also present various comparisons to collision data at the Tevatron and the LHC.
