Using the standard techniques, we derive the N -dependent coefficients in the Mellin-N space as well as the N -independent constants and match the resummed result through the minimal prescription procedure with the fixed order results. In addition to the standard ln N exponentiation, we study the numerical impacts of exponentiating N -independent part of the soft function and the complete g 0 that appears in the resummed predictions in N space. All the analytical pieces needed in these different approaches are extracted from the soft-virtual part of the inclusive cross section known to next-to-next-to-next-to leading order (N3 LO). We perform a detailed analysis on the scale and parton distribution function (PDF) variations and present predictions for 13 TeV LHC for the neutral Drell-Yan process as well as onshell charged and neutral vector boson productions.

Introduction

Standard Model(SM) has been very successful so far in describing the physics of elementary particles. Precision study has played an important role in establishing the SM through the latest discovery of Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The properties of the Higgs boson is being studied with higher accuracy. Recent observations at the LHC demonstrate that the systematic precision study is essential to look for a
