RJets predictions at NLO with MCFM.

We provide NLO predictions for the W/Z + 0/1 Jets ratio using MCFM and show that it suffers reduced sensitivity to parton level theoretical uncertainties as compared to the cross sections themselves. Uncertainties due to unknown higher order corrections are quantified by considering independent vari...

description We provide NLO predictions for the W/Z + 0/1 Jets ratio using MCFM and show that it suffers reduced sensitivity to parton level theoretical uncertainties as compared to the cross sections themselves. Uncertainties due to unknown higher order corrections are quantified by considering independent variations of the renormalization and factorization scales. PDF uncertainties are also considered but statistical limitations make conclusions more difficult in this case.
