Measurement of mass dependence of the transverse momentum of lepton pairs in Drell-Yan production in proton-proton collisions at~$\sqrt{s}$=13~TeV

A measurement of the differential Drell--Yan cross section in the dielectron and dimuon channel is presented with respect to the transverse momentum of the dilepton pair $p_{T}(\ell\ell)$ in several dilepton mass ranges from 50 GeV to 1 TeV. The result is based on the proton–proton collision data at $\sqrt{s}=13$~TeV, recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC. The corresponding integrated luminosity is 36.3 fb$^{-1}$. Additional measurements are also performed including the cross section as a function of $\varphi_{\eta}^{*}$ which is correlated to $p_{T}(\ell\ell)$, the cross section with at least one jet in the final state, and the cross section ratio with respect to the result in the Z mass peak region. Various comparisons to the latest theoretical predictions are presented with different approaches based on quantum chromodynamics including soft-gluon resummation.
