Title: Transverse-momentum-dependent parton distributions up to N3LL from Drell-Yan data

Journal Article · · Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We present an extraction of unpolarised Transverse-Momentum-Dependent Parton Distribution Functions (TMD PDFs or TMDs) based on Drell-Yan production data from different experiments, including those at the LHC, and spanning a wide kinematic range. We include resummation of leading logarithms up to N3LL accuracy. The high per- turbative accuracy and the inclusion of non-perturbative contributions, along with a sound treatment of the experimental uncertainties, allow us to obtain a remarkable agreement with the data. We show that higher-order perturbative corrections are in fact crucial to achieve a suitable description of the data. In addition, we show that the precise rapidity- differential cross sections measured by the ATLAS experiment at 7 and 8 TeV provide a marked sensitivity to the x dependence of TMDs.
