Electroweak Corrections to the Drell-Yan Process at LHC .
V. A. Mossolov, N. M. Shumeiko, J. G. Suarez, and V. A. Zykunov

Complete electroweak radiative -corrections to the Drell-Yan process at large invariant dilepton mass for experiments at CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have been studied. All formulae for the cross sections and kinematical constraints are presented in the explicit form. The FORTRAN code READY for numerical analysis of Drell - Yan observables in the high energy region and electroweak radiative correction procedure (reweighting) has been constructed. The radiative corrections are found to become significant at high dilepton mass M. The complete corrections at "bare" setup change the dimuon mass distribution up to -5.6% (-15.3%) for M =1 (2) TeV at the LHC energy and reduce significantly forward-backward asymmetry. The table of supporting points for reweighting at M = 2TeV has been calculated.
Key words: Drell - Yan process, large invariant dilepton mass, forward-backward asymmetry
