As a consequence of this work we are also able to generate results for the more commonly studied transverse momentum Q_T of the lepton pair. Comparisons of these purely perturbative estimates for the Q_T case yield good agreement with ATLAS and CMS data, as we demonstrate. We anticipate that this work will help stimulate measurements of \\phi* at the LHC.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-07-17T17:36:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "observables", "help stimulate measurements", "generate results", "transverse momentum", "lepton pair" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Physics Letters B", "year": 2012, "month": "Aug", "volume": 715, "number": "1-3", "pages": 152 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1115605, "adsabs": "2012PhLB..715..152B" } } }
