摘要

We consider the transverse-momentum (qT) distribution of Drell-Yan lepton pairs produced with invariant masses (M) from low values up to the Z-boson peak (4 ≤ M ≤ 116 GeV). We present perturbative predictions obtained by consistently combining the resummation of logarithmically enhanced QCD corrections at small qT (qTM) up to next-to-next-to-next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy with the available fixed-order calculations at next-to-next-to-leading order (i.e. \(\mathcal{O}({\alpha }_{S}^{3})\) ) valid at large qT. For very low qT (qT ~ ΛQCD), non-perturbative (NP) QCD effects become dominant and have been included through a NP form factor with a small number of free-parameters. We compare our results with multiple experimental datasets from hadron colliders, finding excellent agreement between theory and data. By fitting the NP parameters, we achieve a precise extraction of the NP form factor and the so-called Collins-Soper kernel.
