Abstract
We calculate the transverse momentum distribution of low-mass Drell–Yan pairs in QCD perturbation theory with all-order resummation. We demonstrate that the transverse momentum distribution of low-mass Drell–Yan pairs is an advantageous source of constraints on the gluon distribution and its nuclear dependence. With the reduction in background, we argue that low-mass Drell–Yan pairs in the forward region provide a good and clean probe of small-x gluons at RHIC and LHC.
