NLO radiative corrections to the Drell-Yan process at LHC Run3

Abstract

NLO electroweak and QCD radiative corrections to the Drell-Yan process were calculated. The numerical estimations for forward-backward asymmetry in µ+µ− pair production performed in various rapidity ranges and different PDF sets for center-of-mass energy √S = 7 TeV are in agreement with CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Run1 experimental data. To simulate the detector acceptance we used the standard CMS detector cuts. We present predictions for radiatively corrected differential cross section and forward-backward asymmetry at CMS LHC Run3 with energy √ S = 14 TeV.
