Measurement of mass dependence of the transverse momentum of Drell Yan lepton pairs in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV
Abstract: The double differential cross sections of the Drell-Yan lepton pair ($\ell^+\ell^-$, electron or muon) production, as a function of its invariant mass $m_{\ell\ell}$, transverse momentum $p_\mathrm{T}(\ell\ell)$, and $\varphi^*$ are measured. The $\varphi^*$ observable is highly correlated with $p_\mathrm{T}(\ell\ell)$ and is used to probe the low $p_\mathrm{T}(\ell\ell)$ region in a complementary way. Drell-Yan 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 in $p_\mathrm{T}(\ell\ell)$ and $\varphi^*$ for the $m_{\ell\ell}$ bins around the Z mass peak over the one on the Z mass peak 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 the center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV in 2016. Measurements are compared to state-of-the-art predictions based on perturbative quantum chromodynamics including soft gluon resummation.

Summary
Measurements of differential Z/${\gamma^*}$ production cross sections in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV in the dielectron and dimuon final states are presented, using the data collected with the CMS detector corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.3 fb$^{-1}$. The measurements have been corrected for detector effects and the two leptonic channels have been combined. Differential cross sections in the dilepton transverse momentum, ${p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell)}$, and in the lepton angular variable ${\varphi^*}$ are measured for different values of the dilepton mass, ${m_{\ell\ell}} $, between 50 GeV and 1 TeV. In addition, dilepton transverse momentum distributions are shown in presence of at least one jet in the detector acceptance. The rising behavior at small ${p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell)}$ is attributed to soft QCD radiation, while 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 these measurements provide a good sensitivity to initial state QCD radiations and can be compared to different predictions resumming the initial state soft QCD radiations.

The measurements are compared to NLO aMC@NLO Monte Carlo predictions using parton shower, showing a generally good agreement, except at ${p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell)}$ values below 10 GeV. This disagreement is enhanced for masses away from the Z mass peak and is more pronounced for the highest mass reaching 20% for the highest mass bin. On the contrary, TMD based approaches give a very good description of the low ${p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell)}$ distributions. These two predictions, arTeMiDe and Cascade , based on independent TMDs parametrisations, offer a valuable alternative to the Parton Shower approach, relying on less fitted parameters. Nevertheless the validity of the arTeMiDe approach, in its present treatment, is limited to transverse momenta lower than the QCD dominant scale (here the dilepton mass). The comparison to GENEVA prediction is not satisfying for low ${p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell)}$ values at any dilepton mass. This is partially due to the ${\alpha_S}$ value choice, as confirmed by the ratio of different dilepton masses measurements as a function of ${p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell)}$ where the dependence on the ${\alpha_S}$ value is largely reduced. The GENEVA high ${p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell)}$ prediction, based on NNLO matrix element, is the only prediction presented here in agreement with the measurement in all dilepton mass bins, showing the importance of higher order matrix element inclusion in that phase space region. The cross section measurement in presence of at least one hard jet provides additional constrains on the predictions. In particular the low ${p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell)}$ region exhibits a strong sensitivity to high order contributions. Given the strong correlation between the ${p_{\mathrm{T}}(\ell\ell)}$ and ${\varphi^*}$ variables the same kind of behavior is to be expected and is observed. The measurements of Z + 1 jet are in good agreement with the predictions for all masses. The measurements of the cross section as a function of ${\varphi^*}$ provide more precision both experimentally and for the predictions but less discrimination between the models. Overall, the predictions involving TMDs give a better description in the region of the phase-space sensitive to these effects.
