We present results for Drell-Yan production from the GENEVA Monte-Carlo framework. We combine the fully differential next-to-next-to leading order (NNLO) calculation with higher-order resummation in the 0-jettiness resolution variable. The resulting parton-level events are further combined with parton showering and hadronization provided by PYTHIA8. The 0-jettiness resummation is carried out to NNLL', which consistently incorporates all singular virtual and real NNLO corrections. It thus provides a natural perturbative connection between the NNLO calculation and the parton shower regime, including a systematic assessment of perturbative uncertainties. In this way, inclusive observables are correct to NNLO, up to small power corrections in the resolution cutoff. Furthermore, the perturbative accuracy of zero-jetlike resummation variables is significantly improved beyond the parton shower approximation. We provide comparisons with LHC measurements of Drell-Yan production at 7 TeV from ATLAS, CMS, and LHCb. As already observed in e(+)e(-) collisions, for resummation-sensitive observables, the agreement with data is noticeably improved by using a lower value of alpha(s)(M-Z) = 0.1135.
