Repository of codes for the high-precision simulation of Drell-Yan processes

The present repository contains the results of the working group on the comparison of codes for the high-precision simulation of the Drell-Yan processes.

The text of the report illustrates the setup chosen for the comparison and a detailed analysis of the impact of different sets of QCD and EW radiative corrections.

In order to guarantee the reproducibility of these results, we provide here below, for each code

• the version of the code used in the report (or a link to it)
• the input file used
• all the relevant instructions and comments
