From the literature one infers that the bulk of the order αs corrections to the Drell-Yan cross-sections dσ/dm and m3d2σ/dmdxF is constituted by the soft plus virtual gluon part of the coefficient function. In the case of dσ/dm it can be shown that at fixed target energies the effect of the exact order α2s corrected coefficient function is very well approximated by its soft plus virtual gluon part. Since the complete order α2s contribution to the coefficient function is missing we have to assume that the same approximation also holds for m3d2σ/dmdxF. It appears that the discrepancy between the exact order αs corrected cross section and the massive lepton pair data taken at fixed target experiments can be partially explained by including the order α2s soft plus virtual gluon part of the coefficient function.
