Abstract

The results of calculations of uncertainties of the Drell-Yan production cross section at the energy √s = 13 TeV are presented. Systematic errors related to uncertainties in the quark and gluon distribution functions, the choice of the QCD factorization scale, and the QCD running coupling constant are considered.
