Dilepton Productions with Meson and Antiproton Beams

ECT* - Villa Tambosi
Strada delle Tabarelle, 286
Trento - Italy
We propose a one-week workshop at ECT to discuss the theoretical and experimental aspects of high-mass dilepton production with meson and antiproton beams. Opportunities to carry out new measurements on high-mass lepton pairs productions using meson and antiproton beams can provide unique informations on the partonic structures of pion, kaon, and nucleons. A proposal to construct the RF-separated beams at CERN would produce high-intensity kaon and antiproton beams. A high-momentum secondary beam line being constructed at the J-PARC facility will also offer the possibility to measure exclusive Drell- Yan reactions for the first time to explore Generalized Parton Distributions in a time-like process. The goal of this Workshop is to discuss in depth the physics opportunities and experimental feasibilities to investigate hadron structures using the Drell-Yan process with high-intensity meson and antiproton beams.
