A study on the low mass Drell-Yan production at the CERN LHC within the dipole formalism

Abstract

We present results for the low mass Drell-Yan (DY) production in proton-proton collisions at the LHC in the color dipole formalism. The DY differential cross sections at 7 TeV as a function of dilepton rapidity, transverse momentum and invariant mass are discussed. We have imposed kinematical cuts related to the low mass DY production investigated by ATLAS and LHCb collaborations.
