• On the basis of a parton model studied earlier we consider the production process of large mass lepton pairs from hadron-hadron inelastic collisions in the limiting region, s --coo, Q 2 /s finite, Q2 and s being the squared invariant masses of the lepton pair and the two initial hadrons, respectively. General scaling properties and connections with deep inelastic electron scattering are discussed. In particular, a rapidly decreasing cross section as Q2/s 1 is predicted as a consequence of the… CONTINUE READING

Simple calculation shows that the exchanged longitudinal momentum fraction is finite andgiven by l/2 Lv I 7 +4 Q /s -17 , with r] being the fractional longitudinal momentum of the virtual photon
The following discussion also applies if we work in the center-of-mass REFERENCES frame of the two initial hnclrons
