Description

We present the full next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) corrections to the coefficient function for the polarized cross section dΔσ/dQ of the Drell-Yan process. We study the effect of these corrections on the process p+p->l+l-+'X' at an C.M. energy S=200GeV. All QCD partonic subprocesses have been included provided the lepton pair is created by a virtual photon, which is a valid approximation for a lepton pair invariant mass Q50GeV. For this reaction the dominant subprocess is given by q+q-bar ->γ*+'X' and its higher order corrections so that it provides us with an excellent tool to measure the polarized sea-quark densities
