Fermilab Tevatron run-1Zboson data and the Collins-Soper-Sterman resummation formalism

Abstract
We examine the effect of the Z-boson transverse momentum distribution measured at run-1 of the Fermilab Tevatron on the nonperturbative function of the Collins-Soper-Sterman (CSS) formalism, which resums large logarithmic terms from multiple soft gluon emission in hadron collisions. The inclusion of the Tevatron run-1 Z boson data strongly favors a Gaussian form of the CSS nonperturbative function, when combined with the other low energy Drell-Yan data in a global fit.
