Abstract
The production of jets in association with a Z/{gamma}{sup *} boson is an example of an important class of processes at hadron colliders, namely vector boson+jet production. Comparisons of measurements of this class of processes with theory predictions constitute an important, fundamental test of the Standard Model of particle physics, and of the theory of QCD in particular. In this thesis several new measurements of differential cross sections of Z/{gamma}{sup *}+jet production are presented. The data used in the measurements were collected by the D0 experiment located at the Tevatron Collider of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 1.04 fb{sup -1}. Detailed comparisons between the measurements and various theory and event-generator predictions are presented.
