Description

We present a measurement of the Drell-Yan differential cross section in pp collisions as a function of the dilepton invariant mass (dsigma/dm). The data sample was collected by the CMS detector at the LHC operating at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV during 2010 and 2011. The results are compared to predictions of the Standard Model.
