Drell-Yan lepton pair production processes are extremely important for Standard Model (SM) precision tests and for beyond the SM searches at hadron colliders. Fast and accurate predictions are essential to enable the best use of the…
In this article, we examine the validity range of the Effective Field Theory (EFT) description of high-energy Drell-Yan processes at the LHC. To this purpose, we consider explicit mediators that contribute to these processes in the $s$- and…
In this letter, we use LHC data from the Drell-Yan processes $pp\to\ell_i\ell_j$ (with $i\neq j$) to derive model-independent upper limits on lepton-flavor-violating meson decays. Our analysis is based on an Effective Field Theory (EFT)…
Massive lepton-pair production, the Drell-Yan process, should be a good source of independent constraints on the gluon density, free from the experimental and theoretical complications of photon isolation that beset studies of prompt photon…
Radiative corrections (RC) to the Compton scattering cross section are calculated in the leading and next-to leading logarithmic approximation to the case of colliding high energy photon-electron beams. RC to the double Compton scattering…

The weak radiative corrections to the Drell-Yan process above the Z-peak have been studied. The compact asymptotic expression for the two heavy boson exchange - one of the significant contributions to the investigated process - has been…
We study the processes $pp \to t\bar{t}Z$ and $pp \to tZj$ in the framework of Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT), employing conventional cut-and-count as well as machine learning techniques to take advantage of kinematic…
We investigate the transverse-momentum-dependence in semi-inclusive deep inelastic leptoproduction of hadrons. There are two different theoretical approaches to study this dependence, one for low and one for high transverse momentum of the…
Measurements of neutral current Drell-Yan production at large invariant dilepton masses can be used to test the energy scale dependence (running) of the electroweak mixing angle. In this work, we make use of a novel implementation of the…
We calculate the angular distribution of the lepton produced in the Drell-Yan reaction taking into account pion bound state effects. We work in the kinematic region where one of the pion constituents goes far off-shell, which allows us to…
We show that the observation of the Drell-Yan production of low-mass lepton-pairs (M < 20 GeV) at high rapidities (Y > 3) at the LHC can make a direct measurement of parton distribution functions (PDFs) in the low x region, x < 10^{-4}. We…
We suggest the measurement of Drell-Yan (DY) lepton pairs in p-Pb collisions at the LHC (sqrt(s)=5.02 TeV) in order to disentangle the relative contributions of shadowing and coherent energy loss in quarkonium production off nuclei. The…
We present the full next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) coefficient functions for the polarized cross section $d\Delta \sigma/dQ$ for the Drell-Yan process $p + p\to l^+l^- + 'X'$. Here $'X'$ denotes any inclusive hadronic state and $Q$…
Exclusive semileptonic $b$ hadron decays ($b \to u \ell \nu$) serve as a sandbox for probing strong and electroweak interactions and for extracting the CKM element $V_{ub}$. Instead, this work investigates their underexplored potential to…
The unpolarized, helicity and transversity distributions of quarks in the proton are calculated in the overlap representation of light-cone wavefunctions truncated to the lowest order Fock-space components with three valence quarks. The…
