The LHC Drell–Yan measurements as a constraint for the noncommutative space-time

Abstract The LHC measurements of the differential cross section of the Drell–Yan process is used to constrain the noncommutative space-time (NCST) phase space. A χ 2 method is utilized to exclude the part of the parameters space which is not consistent with the LHC measurements. Depending on other NCST parameters, the scale can be pushed up to Λ NC > 655 GeV. The effect of other parameters is also investigated. To our knowledge, it is the first time that a detailed statistical analysis is performed to compare the NCST results with the Hadron Collider measurements.
