Abstract: (Elsevier)
Assuming that the Drell-Yan picture is approximately valid, I compute the O( g 2 ) gluon radiative corrections in QCD. The corrections are self-consistent, i.e. they satisfy several non-trivial constraints necessary for the validity of the whole picture. There are logarithmic scaling violations in the quark distribution functions, precisely equal to those found in electroproduction. Large transverse momenta (of order of the c.m. energy) are produced, balanced by radiation in the opposite direction. I compute the transverse momentum differential cross section for μ pairs as an example.- MODEL: DRELL-YAN
