Description

Analysis of semi-inclusive hadroproduction in deep inelastic scattering suggests broadening of transverse momentum distributions at x below a few 10-3, which can be modeled in the Collins-Soper-Sterman formalism by a modification of impact-parameter-dependent parton densities. We discuss the consequences of such a modification for the production of electroweak bosons at hadron-hadron colliders. If substantial small-x broadening is observed in forward Z0 boson production in the Tevatron Run-2, it will strongly affect predicted qT distributions for W±, Z0, and Higgs boson production at the Large Hadron Collider
