Inclusive W, Z and W/Z+jets Production at the LHC

The ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC have made many measurements of the production of the vector bosons, W and Z, in association with energetic jets. Understanding W/Z + jets and W/Z + heavy flavor production is important for many other analyses including studies of the top quark, the Higgs boso...

Sumario:The ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC have made many measurements of the production of the vector bosons, W and Z, in association with energetic jets. Understanding W/Z + jets and W/Z + heavy flavor production is important for many other analyses including studies of the top quark, the Higgs boson, measurement of the W mass, and for many new physics searches. In this talk, I will discuss several recent measurements of the associated production of jets and vector bosons the first run of the LHC. Results are compared to a variety of different perturbative QCD predictions.
