High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2017-03-08 v2

Abstract

We present predictions for single-diffractive low-mass Drell-Yan pair production in pppp collisions at the LHC at s=13\sqrt{s}=13 TeV. Predictions are obtained adopting a factorised form for the relevant cross sections and are based on a new set of diffractive parton distributions resulting from the QCD analysis of combined HERA leading proton data. We discuss a number of observables useful to characterise the expected factorisation breaking effects.
