Description

The ATLAS experiment measured the differential production cross-section of Drell-Yan lepton pairs in proton-proton collisions versus their transverse momentum and the phi* observable. These measurements allow for a precise test of perturbative and resummed QCD predictions and are the basis for electroweak precision measurements at the LHC, such as the measurement of the W boson mass. In this presentation, we discuss the latest results and compare them to various QCD predictions, allowing to put significant constraints on model uncertainties.
