Description
Neutral current Drell Yan cross section is sensitive to the proton parton distribution
functions, in particular to u-bar quark density. The measurements
for two distinct kinematic regions, below the Z boson mass peak and above were performed by the ATLAS collaboration using 7 TeV pp collision data. The results are compared to NNLO QCD predictions corrected for NLO EW effects calculated using various PDF sets.
