Abstract
The production cross sections of the inclusive Drell-Yan processes and (, ) are measured in proton-proton collisions at with the ATLAS detector. The cross sections are reported integrated over a fiducial kinematic range, extrapolated to the full range, and also evaluated differentially as a function of the decay lepton pseudorapidity and the boson rapidity, respectively. Based on an integrated luminosity of about collected in 2010, the precision of these measurements reaches a few percent. The integrated and the differential and cross sections in the and channels are combined, and compared with perturbative QCD calculations, based on a number of different parton distribution sets available at next-to-next-to-leading order.
