Predictions for Drell--Yan lepton pair production at low dilepton mass and small x at the LHC usually have a large scale dependence. This can be decreased by determining an "optimal factorization scale". In this paper, we reduce this scale…

The cross section of the diffractive Drell-Yan (DY) process, pp->(l-lbar X)p, where the system (l-lbar X) is separated by a large rapidity gap from the recoil proton, is calculated in the light-cone dipole approach. This process reveals…
We consider Drell-Yan production $pp\to V^* X \to L X$ at small $q_T \ll Q$. Experimental measurements require fiducial cuts on the leptonic state $L$, which introduce enhanced, linear power corrections in $q_T/Q$. We show that they can be…
