Improving the Drell–Yan probe of small x partons at the LHC via an azimuthal angle cut

Abstract Predictions for Drell–Yan lepton pair production at low dilepton mass and small x at the LHC usually have a large scale dependence. This can be decreased by determining an optimal factorization scale. In this paper, we reduce this scale by imposing a cutoff in azimuthal angle between the tr...
