Measurement of the differential and double-differential Drell-Yan cross section in proton-proton collisions at 7 TeV
Abstract: Measurements are presented for the measurements of the differential and double differential Drell-Yan cross section using anintegrated luminosity of .5 fb^{-1}(dimuon)and.8~fb1 (dielectron) of proton-proton collision data recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC at s=7~TeV. The cross sections dσ/dM are measured in the mass range  GeVto~GeV for the dimuon, dielectron, and combined channels. Results are also presented on the measurement of the double-differential cross section d2σ/dMdY in the dimuon channel. The double-differential cross section measurement is performed over the mass range  GeVto~GeV and absolute dimuon rapidity from to.4. The differential cross section measurements are normalized to the Z-peak region ( - 120$~GeV) to achieve better accuracy. The measurements are compared to the predictions of perturbative QCD calculations at next-to-leading and next-to-next-to-leading order using various sets of parton distribution functions.
