Abstract
We compute the angular decay distribution of lepton pairs, integrated over the transverse momentum within the soft gluons resummation procedure. The deviations from the naive Drell-Yan model are found very small. Therefore, the phase space boundary region should provide a clear signal for higher twist contributions.
