Drell-Yan Production at Threshold to Third Order in QCD

Ahmed, Taushif, Mahakhud, Maguni, Rana, Narayan et al.

Understand

The recent computation on the full threshold contributions to Higgs boson production at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N$^3$LO) in QCD contains valuable information on the soft gluons resulting from virtual and real emission partonic subprocesses.

We use those from the real emissions to obtain the corresponding soft gluon contributions to Drell-Yan production and determine the missing $\delta(1-z)$ part of the N$^3$LO.
The numerical impact of threshold effects demonstrates the importance of our results in the precision study with the Drell-Yan process at the LHC.
