Phenomenology of electro-weak bosons at hadron colliders with novel variables

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

We review the phenomenology of electro-weak bosons produced in hadron-hadron collisions. In particular, we discuss the transverse momentum distribution of lepton pairs with invariant mass close to the Z peak. We describe the theoretical calculation for the magnitude of the transverse momentum Q_T and its comparison to Tevatron and LHC data. We also discuss the related variable ϕ*, describing its experimental advantages as well as its relation to the standard Q_T variable. Finally, we compare resummed predictions for ϕ* to data.
