Abstract
The resummation calculation (esos) is a widely used tool for the simulation of single vector boson production at colliders. In this work, we develop a significant improvement over the esos code by increasing the accuracy from <a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"> <a:mrow> <a:mi>NNLL</a:mi> <a:mo>+</a:mo> <a:mi>NLO</a:mi> </a:mrow> </a:math> to <c:math xmlns:c="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"> <c:mrow> <c:msup> <c:mrow> <c:mi mathvariant="normal">N</c:mi> </c:mrow> <c:mrow> <c:mn>3</c:mn> </c:mrow> </c:msup> <c:mi>LL</c:mi> <c:mo>+</c:mo> <c:mi>NNLO</c:mi> </c:mrow> </c:math> and release the esos v2.0 code. Furthermore, we propose a new nonperturbative function that includes information about the rapidity of the system (IFY). The IFY functional form was fitted to data from fixed target experiments, the Tevatron, and the LHC. We find that the nonperturbative function has mild rapidity dependence based on the results of the fit. Published by the American Physical Society 2024
