NLO QCD Predictions for W +3 jets
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this contribution we present results from the NLO computation of the production of a W boson in association with three jets in hadronic collisions. The results are obtained by combining two programs: BlackHat for the virtual one-loop matrix elements and Sherpa for the realemission contributions. We present results for the Tevatron and the LHC, and address the issue of the choice of a common factorization and renormalization scale for this process.

Jet Physics
Recent measurements of the inclusive jet cross section, dijet cross section, dijet invariant mass distributions and strong coupling constant at TEVATRON, HERA and LEP colliders are presented in this paper. The comparisons with NLO perturbative QCD predictions are shown. In general consistency with QCD predictions is observed for a variety of processes and energy ranges. The observed discrepanci...
متن کاملPrecise predictions for W+4-jet production at the large hadron collider.
We present the next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD results for W+4-jet production at hadron colliders. This is the first hadron-collider process with five final-state objects to be computed at NLO. It represents an important background to many searches for new physics at the energy frontier. Total cross sections, as well as distributions in the jet transverse momenta, are provided for the initial L...

Results on recent QCD measurements performed at the Tevatron p¯ p Collider at √ s = 1.96 TeV are here reported. The inclusive jet and dijet mass cross sections are compared to NLO pQCD calculations and to Run I results. The production rates and kinematic properties of W + jets production processes are compared to " enhanced " LO theoretical predictions. Non-perturbative " soft " interactions le...
متن کاملQCD at the Tevatron
Recent measurements of selected QCD processes at the Tevatron are reviewed and confronted with theoretical calculations. Results on inclusive jet production at large transverse momentum (pT ) are compared to predictions from next-to-leading order (NLO) perturbative QCD (pQCD). Kinematic distributions of jets with light and heavy flavor produced in association with electroweak bosons are compare...
متن کاملOverview of Nnlo Qcd Corrections
We discuss the motivation for making predictions for jet cross sections at next-to-next-to-leading order. I describe the theoretical ingredients needed for such a calculation and briefly review the progress in the field. In the last decade there has been enormous progress in using perturbative QCD to predict and describe events containing jets. At the simplest lowest-order (LO) level, each jet ...
