Drell-Yan lepton pair production at low invariant masses: transverse-momentum resummation and non-perturbative effects in QCD
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 (qT ≪ M) 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.
