Abstract: The double differential cross sections of the Drell--Yan lepton pair ($ \ell^+\ell^- $, dielectron or dimuon) production are measured as functions of the invariant mass $ m_{\ell\ell} $, transverse momentum $ p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell) $, and $ \varphi^{*}_{\eta} $. The $ \varphi^{*}_{\eta} $ observable, derived from angular measurements of the leptons and highly correlated with $ p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell) $, is used to probe the low-$ p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell) $ region in a complementary way. Dilepton masses up to 1 TeV are investigated. Additionally, a measurement is performed requiring at least one jet in the final state. To benefit from partial cancellation of the systematic uncertainty, the ratios of the differential cross sections for various $ m_{\ell\ell} $ ranges to those in the Z mass peak interval are presented. The collected data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 36.3 fb$ ^{-1} $ of proton--proton collisions recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. Measurements are compared with predictions based on perturbative quantum chromodynamics, including soft-gluon resummation. | ||

Figure 1:
Distributions of events passing the selection requirements in the muon (left) and electron channels (right). Each plot also presents in the lower part a ratio of simulation over data. Only statistical uncertainties are shown as error bars on the data points, whereas the ratio presents the statistical uncertainty in the simulation and the data. The plots show the number of events without normalization to the bin width. The different background contributions are discussed in the text. |

Summary |
Measurements of differential Drell--Yan cross sections in proton-proton collisions at $ \sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV in the dielectron and dimuon final states are presented, using data collected with the CMS detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.3 fb$ ^{-1} $. The measurements are corrected for detector effects and the two leptonic channels are combined. Differential cross sections in the dilepton transverse momentum, $ p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell) $, and in the lepton angular variable $ \varphi^{*}_{\eta} $ are measured for different values of the dilepton mass, $ m_{\ell\ell} $, between 50 GeV and 1 TeV. To highlight the evolution with the dilepton mass scale, ratios of these distributions for various masses are presented. In addition, dilepton transverse momentum distributions are shown in the presence of at least one jet within the detector acceptance. The rising behaviour of the Drell--Yan inclusive cross section at small $ p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell) $ is attributed to soft QCD radiations, whereas the tail at large $ p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell) $ is only expected to be well described by models relying on higher-order matrix element calculations. Therefore, this variable provides a good sensitivity to initial-state QCD radiations and can be compared with different predictions relying on matrix element calculations at different orders and using different methods to resum the initial-state soft QCD radiations. The measurements show that the peak in the $ p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell) $ distribution, located around 5 GeV, is not significantly modified by changing the $ m_{\ell\ell} $ value in the covered range. However, for higher values of $ m_{\ell\ell} $ above the peak, the $ p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell) $ distributions fall less steeply. The $ \varphi^{*}_{\eta} $ variable, highly correlated with $ p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell) $, offers a complementary access to the underlying QCD dynamics. Since it is based only on angle measurements of the final-state charged leptons, it offers, a priori, measurements with greater accuracy. However, these measurements demonstrate that the $ \varphi^{*}_{\eta} $ distributions discriminate between the models less than the $ p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell) $ distributions, since they wash out the peak structure of the $ p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell) $ distributions, which reflect the initial-state QCD radiation effects in a more detailed way. \begintolerant 5000 This publication presents comparisons of the measurements to six predictions using different treatments of soft initial-state QCD radiations. Two of them, MG5\_aMC + PYTHIA 8 and \textsc{MiNNLO$ _\mathrm{PS} $, are based on a matrix element calculation merged with parton showers. Two others, ARTEMIDE and CASCADE use transverse momentum dependent parton distributions (TMD). Finally, GENEVA combines a higher-order resummation with a Drell--Yan calculation at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO), in two different ways. One carries out the resummation at next-to-next-to-leading logarithm in the 0-jettiness variable $ \tau_0 $, the other at $ \mathrm{N^3LL} $ in the $ q_\mathrm{T} $ variable. \endtolerant \begintolerant 5000 The comparison of the measurement with the MG5\_aMC + PYTHIA 8 Monte Carlo predictions using matrix element calculations including $ \mathrm{Z} + 0,1, $ 2 partons at next-to-leading order (NLO) merged with a parton shower, shows generally good agreement, except at $ p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell) $ values below 10 GeV both for the inclusive and one jet cross sections. This disagreement is enhanced for masses away from the Z mass peak and is more pronounced for the higher dilepton masses, reaching 20% for the highest mass bin. \endtolerant \begintolerant 5000 The \textsc{MiNNLO$ _\mathrm{PS} $ prediction provides the best global description of the data among the predictions presented in this paper, both for the inclusive and the one jet cross sections. This approach, based on NNLO matrix element and PYTHIA8 parton shower and MPI, describes well the large $ p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell) $ cross sections and ratios, except for $ p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell) $ values above 400 GeV for dilepton masses around the Z mass peak. A good description of the medium and low $ p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell) $ cross sections is obtained using a modified primordial $ k_{\mathrm{T}} $ parameter of the CP5 parton shower tune. \endtolerant \begintolerant 5000 MG5\_aMC + PB(CASCADE) predictions are based on Parton Branching TMDs obtained only from a fit to electron-proton deep inelastic scattering measurements performed at HERA. These TMDs are merged with NLO matrix element calculations. Low $ p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell) $ values are globally well described but with too low cross sections at medium $ p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell) $ values. This discrepancy increases with increasing $ m_{\ell\ell} $ in a way similar to the MG5\_aMC + PYTHIA 8 predictions. The high part of the $ p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell) $ distribution is not described by CASCADE due to missing higher fixed-order terms. The model can not describe the low $ p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell) $ region of the cross section in the presence of one jet due to the missing double parton scattering contributions. The recent inclusion of multi-jet merging allows a larger $ p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell) $\ region to be described as well. \endtolerant \begintolerant 5000 ARTEMIDE provides predictions based on TMDs extracted from previous measurements including the Drell-Yan transverse momentum cross section at the LHC at the Z mass peak. By construction, the validity of ARTEMIDE predictions are limited to the range $ p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell) < 0.2 \ m_{\ell\ell} $. In that range, they describe well the present measurements up to the highest dilepton masses. \endtolerant \begintolerant 5000 The GENEVA prediction, combining resummation in the 0-jettiness variable $ \tau_0 $ (GENEVA-$ \tau $) and NNLO matrix element does not describe the measurement well for $ p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell) $ values below 40 GeV. For the high $ p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell) $ region the inclusion of NNLO in the matrix element provides a good description of the measured cross section. The recent GENEVA prediction (GENEVA-$ q_\mathrm{T} $), using a $ q_\mathrm{T} $ resummation, provides a much better description of the measured inclusive cross sections, describing very well the data in the full $ p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell) $ range except for middle $ p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell) $ values in the lowest mass bin. Both GENEVA approaches predict too hard $ p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell) $ spectra for the one jet cross sections. \endtolerant \begintolerant 5000 The ratio distributions presented in this paper confirm most of the observations based on the comparison between the measurement and the predictions at the cross section level. The observed scale dependence is well described by the different models. Furthermore the partial cancellation of the uncertainties in the cross section ratios allows a higher level of precision to be reached for both the measurement and the predictions. \endtolerant \begintolerant 5000 The present analysis shows the relevance of measuring the Drell--Yan cross section in a wide range in dilepton masses to probe the interplay between the transverse momentum and the mass scales of the process. Important theoretical efforts have been made during the last decade to improve the detailed description of high energy processes involving multiple scales and partonic final states. The understanding of the Drell--Yan process directly benefited from these developments. The present paper shows that they individually describe the measurements well in the regions they were designed for. Nevertheless, no model is able to reproduce all dependencies over the complete covered range. Further progress might come from combining these approaches. \endtolerant |
