abstract
We present high-accuracy QCD predictions for the transverse-momentum ($q_T$) distribution and fiducial cross sections of Drell-Yan lepton pairs produced in hadronic collisions. At small value of $q_T$ we resum to all perturbative orders the logarithmically enhanced contributions up to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic (N$^3$LL) accuracy, including all the next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N$^3$LO) (i.e. $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_S^3)$) terms. Our resummed calculation has been implemented in the public numerical program DYTurbo, which produces fast and precise predictions with the full dependence on the final-state leptons kinematics. We consistently combine our resummed results with the known $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_S^3)$ fixed-order predictions at large values of $q_T$ thus obtaining full N$^3$LO accuracy also for fiducial cross sections. We show numerical results at LHC energies discussing the reduction of the perturbative uncertainty with respect to lower-order calculations.

A general leading-power factorization framework for exclusive multijet resolution variables, with a new rapidity regulator and an all-order factorizing k_T-ness variable.
The paper derives the first complete O(alpha_s^2) analytic QCD corrections to the dihadron angular separation distribution in e+e- annihilation, with verified cancellation of infrared poles.
N³LO QCD predictions for photon-pair production are presented, demonstrating perturbative convergence.
A lattice QCD Collins-Soper kernel is combined with N3LO plus N4LL' resummation and transferred to Monte Carlo events by maximum-entropy moment reweighting.
The authors derive analytic expressions for all 303 three-loop master integrals with one massive propagator appearing in the mixed QCD-electroweak corrections to the quark form factor, expressed through generalized polylogarithms with interdependent arguments.
Matrix Hawaii provides a public interface between PineAPPL and MATRIX that generates interpolation grids at NNLO QCD + NLO EW accuracy for a range of LHC processes, with sub-permille interpolation errors.
ATLAS reports new high-precision W-boson differential cross sections at 5.02 and 13 TeV, consistent with Standard Model predictions and useful for profiling proton parton distribution functions.
A physics-informed deep neural network extracts unpolarized TMDPDFs in b_T space from Drell-Yan data using a FiLM-conditioned monotone architecture for the nonperturbative factor.
Exact mixed QCD-EW corrections at order alpha_s alpha to neutral-current Drell-Yan production are computed and applied to distributions, the forward-backward asymmetry, and dressed leptons.

The report reviews progress since 2021 in fixed-order computations for LHC applications and identifies processes requiring missing higher-order corrections to match anticipated experimental precision.
