Real and virtual photons effects in di-lepton production at the LHC

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2018-03-14 v2

Abstract

We show the SM prediction of di-lepton production at the LHC where to the usual Drell-Yan production we add the contribution from Photon-Initiated processes. We discuss the effects of the inclusion of photon interactions in the high invariant mass region (TeV region) and their consequences on BSM heavy Z'-boson searches.
