Cross section for the Drell–Yan process in proton–proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)

The cross sections for the Drell–Yan process at the c.m. collision energy of $$\sqrt s $$ = 13 TeV were calculated, and the results of these calculations are presented. The systematic errors associated with the uncertainties in the quark and gluon distributions and with the choice of scale for factorization and for the running QCD coupling constant are considered.
