Title: Measurements of W/Z + Jets Production Cross Sections at the Tevatron

Conference · · PoS
OSTI ID:1419170

We present measurements of inclusive W=Z +n jet cross sections (n = 1-4), presented as total inclusive cross sections and differentially in the nth jet transverse momentum and rapidity, as well as the heavy flavor content in these jets up to n = 2. The measurements are made using 4:2 to 6 fb-1 of data collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The measurements are compared to next-to-leading order (NLO) perturbative QCD calculations.
