Abstract: (Elsevier)
The high-energy process p+p→ μ + + μ − +X for dimuons with large invariant mass is studied in the case that the protons are polarized. In general, the cross section d σ/ d Q 2 d y d Ω is determined by nine structure functions, and several interesting correlations between the polarization direction and the observed cross section are possible. In the Drell-Yan parton model for the process, the structure of the cross section is much simpler: there are six linear relations among the structure functions. An experimental test of these relations would provide a stringent test of the Drell-Yan model.- P P: INCLUSIVE REACTION
