Description

We present a phenomenological study of vector boson production at hadron colliders based on NNLO fixed order calculation and on resummation of threshold logarithms. We compare different prescriptions for the calculation of resummed quantities, we study the ambiguity related to the resummation prescription, and we compare it to that coming from scales variation.
