摘要

We study the Drell-Yan process at the Large Hadron Collider in the presence of the noncommutative extension of the standard model. Using the Seiberg-Witten map, we calculate the production cross section to first order in the noncommutative parameter Theta(mu v). Although this idea has been evolving for a long time, only a limited amount of phenomenological analysis has been completed, and this was mostly in the context of the linear collider. An outstanding feature from this nonminimal noncommutative standard model not only modifies the couplings over the SM production channel but also allows additional nonstandard vertices which can play a significant role. Hence, in the Drell-Yan process, as studied in the present analysis, one also needs to account for the gluon fusion process at the tree level. Some of the characteristic signatures, such as oscillatory azimuthal distributions, are an outcome of the momentum-dependent effective couplings. We explore the noncommutative scale Lambda(NC) >= 0.4 TeV, considering different machine energy ranging from 7 to 13 TeV.
