Description

We present theoretical predictions for a novel variable to study low transverse momentum vector boson production at hadron colliders. The new variable referred to as $a_T$ has been pointed out to have experimental advantages over the usual $p_t$ distribution and our study in conjunction with forthcoming accurate experimental data can help to shed light on perturbative radiation as well as constrain non-perturbative effects better than traditional studies of the $p_T$ distribution.
