Abstract

We show that the conventional threshold resummation calculation cannot describe well the low energy Drell-Yan (DY) data without including the non-perturbative correction terms which are deduced from analyzing the asymptotic behavior of the resummation formalism. It is demonstrated that the non-perturbative correction is generally small for the large invariant mass DY pairs produced at the Tevatron and the LHC.
