Abstract

We present a comprehensive analysis of the angular structure of the Drell-Yan process at different rapidity and kinematical ranges using predictions of theoretical approaches (collinear perturbative QCD and the geometrical method) at next-to-leading order and data of ATLAS, LHCb, and CMS Collaborations at the CERN LHC.
