Z + jets cross section ratio measurements
Abstract
We present a study of events with Z bosons and jets produced at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider in p{bar p} collisions at a center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV. The data sample consists of nearly 14,000 Z/{gamma}* {yields} e{sup +}e{sup -} candidates corresponding to the integrated luminosity of 340 pb{sup -1} collected using the D0 detector. Ratios of the Z/{gamma}* + {le} n jet cross sections to the total inclusive Z/{gamma}* cross section have been measured for n = 1 to 4 jet events. Our measurements are found to be in good agreement with a next-to-leading order QCD calculation and with a tree-level QCD prediction with parton shower simulation and hadronization.

Measurements of the $$\mathrm{t}\overline{\mathrm{t}}$$ production cross section in lepton+jets final states in pp collisions at 8 $$\,\text {TeV}$$ TeV and ratio of 8 to 7 $$\,\text {TeV}$$cross sections
A measurement of the top quark pair production (tt¯) cross section in proton–proton collisions at the centre-of-mass energy of 8TeV is presented using data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.6fb-1. This analysis is performed in the tt¯ decay channels with one isolated, high transverse momentum electron or muon and at least four jets, at least one of which is required to be identified as originating from hadronization of a b quark. The calibration of the jet energy scale and the efficiency of b jet identification are determined from data. The measured tt¯ cross sectionmore »Cited by 3 -
Measurements of W/Z + Jets Production Cross Sections at the Tevatron
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. -
Measurements of the production cross section of a $Z$ boson in association with jets in pp collisions at $$\sqrt{s} = 13$$ TeV with the ATLAS detector
Measurements of the production cross section of a Z boson in association with jets in proton–proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV are presented, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.16 fb –1 collected by the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider in 2015. Inclusive and differential cross sections are measured for events containing a Z boson decaying to electrons or muons and produced in association with up to seven jets with p T > 30 GeV and |y| < 2.5. Predictions from different Monte Carlo generators based on leading-order and next-to-leading-order matrix elements for upmore »Cited by 1 -
Determination of the Strong Coupling Constant and Multijet Cross Section Ratio Measurements
Concepts and results of determinations of the strong coupling in hadron collisions are discussed. A recent {alpha}{sub s} result from the inclusive jet cross section in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.96 TeV is presented which is based on perturbative QCD calculations beyond next-to-leading order. Emphasis is put on the consistency of the conceptual approach. Conceptual limitations in the approach of extracting as from cross section data are discussed and how these can be avoided by using observables that are defined as ratios of cross sections. For one such observable, the multijet cross section ratio R{sub 3/2}, preliminary resultsmore »
