Description

We present a comprehensive comparison of the available experimental data for the Drell-Yan lepton angular coefficients $\lambda$ and $\nu$ to calculations at leading and next-to-leading order of perturbative QCD. Our comparisons reveal that perturbative QCD is able to describe the experimental data overall rather well, especially at colliders, but also in the fixed-target regime.
