Abstract
We present the resummed predictions for inclusive cross-section for Drell-Yan (DY) production as well as onshell Z, W± productions at next-to-next-to-next-to leading logarithmic (N3LL) accuracy. Using the standard techniques, we derive the N-dependent coefficients in the Mellin-N space as well as the N-independent constants and match the resummed result through the minimal prescription procedure with the fixed order results. In addition to the standard ln N exponentiation, we study the numerical impacts of exponentiating N-independent part of the soft function and the complete \( {\overline{g}}_0 \) that appears in the resummed predictions in N space. All the analytical pieces needed in these different approaches are extracted from the soft-virtual part of the inclusive cross section known to next-to-next-to-next-to leading order (N3LO). We perform a detailed analysis on the scale and parton distribution function (PDF) variations and present predictions for 13 TeV LHC for the neutral Drell-Yan process as well as onshell charged and neutral vector boson productions.
