Study on the low mass Drell-Yan production at the CERN LHC within the dipole formalism

Abstract

We present results for the low-mass Drell-Yan (DY) production in proton-proton collisions at the LHC in the color dipole formalism. The DY differential cross sections at √s = 7 TeV as a function of dilepton rapidity, transverse momentum, and invariant mass are discussed.We impose kinematical cuts related to the low-mass DY production investigated by the ATLAS and LHCb Collaborations.
