Abstract
We consider the production of and vector bosons in hadron-hadron collisions in perturbative QCD. We present results from a new numerical program which gives a full description of the production of the vector bosons and of their decay products. At small the calculation includes resummation of large logarithms and non-perturbative effects. The resummation is matched with the full calculation. In addition, the program correctly reproduces the known cross section when integrated over . Besides presenting results for and production at the Tevatron, we also review constraints on the non-perturbative functions using fixed target data on lepton pair production, and make several observations on this topic.
