Description
Vector boson production in p≠p collisions in LHC Run≠1 has been
extensively studied by ATLAS and CMS. Charged and neutral current Drell
Yan cross sections are sensitive to the parton distribution functions
of the proton and electroweak corrections. The measurements of the
neutral current Drell≠Yan process in three distinct kinematic regions,
i.e. at the Z boson mass peak, below and above, are performed. The results
are compared to NLO Monte Carlo simulations and to NNLO QCD predictions
corrected for NLO EW effects calculated using various parameterizations
of the parton distribution functions. An overview of these results is
given.
