Drell-Yan processes in the high-energy limit
arXiv:0906.4729
Abstract
We present the analytic computation of leading high-energy logarithms of the inclusive Drell-Yan and vector boson production cross-section. We also study the phenomenological relevance of the high-energy corrections for Drell-Yan processes at the LHC. We find that the resummation corrects the NNLO result by no more than a few percent, for values of the invariant mass of the lepton pair below 100 GeV.
