Measurement of Angular Distributions of Drell-Yan Dimuons in $p + p$   Interactions at 800 GeV/c
  We report a measurement of the angular distributions of Drell-Yan dimuons produced using an 800 GeV/c proton beam on a hydrogen target. The polar and azimuthal angular distribution parameters have been extracted over the kinematic range $4.5 < m_{\mu \mu} < 15$ GeV/c$^2$ (excluding the $\Upsilon$ resonance region), $0 < p_T < 4 $ GeV/c, and $0 < x_F < 0.8$. The $p+p$ angular distributions are similar to those of $p+d$, and both data sets are compared with models which attribute the $\cos 2 \phi$ distribution either to the presence of the transverse-momentum-dependent Boer-Mulders structure function $h_1^\perp$ or to QCD effects. The data indicate the presence of both mechanisms. The validity of the Lam-Tung relation in $p+p$ Drell-Yan is also tested.
