Abstract
We summarize a new analysis of the distribution [Formula: see text] of charged leptons produced in decays of Z and γ* bosons in the Collins-Soper-Sterman (CSS) formalism for transverse momentum resummation. By comparing the [Formula: see text] distribution measured at the Tevatron with the resummed CSS cross section with approximate [Formula: see text] Wilson coefficients, we constrain the magnitude of the nonperturbative Gaussian smearing factor and analyze its uncertainty caused by variations in scale parameters. We find excellent agreement between the [Formula: see text] data and our theoretical prediction, provided by the RESBOS resummation program. The nonperturbative factor that we obtained can be used to update resummed QCD predictions for precision measurements in inclusive W and Z production and for comparisons to various models of nonperturbative dynamics.
