The Drell-Yan process at hadron colliders is a fundamental benchmark for thestudy of strong interactions and the extraction of electro-weak parameters. Theoutstanding precision of the LHC demands very accurate theoretical predictionswith a full account of fiducial experimental cuts. In this letter we present astate-of-the-art calculation of the fiducial cross section and of differentialdistributions for this process at third order in the strict fixed-orderexpansion in the strong coupling, as well as including the all-orderresummation of logarithmic corrections. Together with these results, we presenta detailed study of the subtraction technique used to carry out the calculationfor different sets of experimental cuts, as well as of the sensitivity of thefiducial cross section to infrared physics. We find that residual theoryuncertainties are reduced to the percent level and that the robustness of thepredictions can be improved by a suitable adjustment of fiducial cuts.
