The analysis of Drell-Yan lepton pair production in the P-P(P) colliders using different angular ordering constraints and $k_t$-factorization approach

Abstract

In this work, the P-P(P) Drell-Yan lepton pair production (DY) differential cross sections at hadrons colliders, such as LHC and TEVATRON, are studied in the $k_t$-factorization framework. In order to take into account the transverse momenta of incoming partons, we use the unintegrated parton distribution functions (UPDF) of Kimber et al (KMR) and Martin et al (MRW) in the leading order (LO) and next-to-leading-order (NLO) levels with the input MMHT2014 PDF libraries. Based on the different off-shell partonic matrix elements, we analyze the behaviors of DY differential cross sections with respect to the invariant mass, the transverse momentum and the rapidity as well as the specific angular correlation between the produced leptons. The numerical results are compared with the experimental data, in different energies, which are reported by various collaborations, such as CDF, CMS, ATLAS and LHCb. It is shown that the NLO-MRW and KMR schemes predict closer results to the data compared to the LO-MRW, since we do not have fragmentation.
