Abstract

We consider certain parton distribution functions P(x, k_T) that appear in a proposed form of factorization for the Drell-Yan process at measured Q_T. We argue that these Drell-Yan parton distribution functions P_q/A(x, k_T) are related by a light cone expansion to the distribution functions f{hook}_q/A(x) measured in deeply inelastic lepton scattering.
