Abstract

Here, we perform a detailed comparison of next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD predictions for the W+jet and Z+jet processes with 7 TeV experimental data from ATLAS and CMS. We observe excellent agreement between theory and data for most studied observables, which span several orders of magnitude in both cross section and energy. For some observables, such as theH_T distribution, the NNLO QCD corrections are essential for resolving existing discrepancies between theory and data.

$W$ -boson plus jet differential distributions at NNLO in QCD

Journal Article Boughezal, Radja ; Liu, Xiaohui ; Petriello, Frank - Physical Review D

We present a detailed phenomenological study of $W$-boson production in association with a jet through next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in perturbative QCD. Fiducial cross sections and differential distributions for both 8 TeV and 13 TeV LHC collisions are presented, as are results for both the inclusive one-jet bin and the exclusive one-jet bin. Two different event selection criteria are considered: a general selection with standard cuts used in experimental analyses, and a boosted selection that focuses on high transverse momentum jets. We discuss the higher-order corrections in detail and identify for which observables and phase space regions the QCD perturbative expansionmore »« less

Phenomenology of the $Z$ boson plus jet process at NNLO

Journal Article Boughezal, Radja ; Liu, Xiaohui ; Petriello, Frank - Physical Review D

Here, we present a detailed phenomenological study of Z-boson production in association with a jet through next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in perturbative QCD. Fiducial cross sections and differential distributions for both 8 TeV and 13 TeV LHC collisions are presented. We study the impact of different parton distribution functions (PDFs) on predictions for the Z + jet process. Upon inclusion of the NNLO corrections, the residual scale uncertainty is reduced such that both the total rate and the transverse momentum distributions can be used to discriminate between various PDF sets.

Measurement of inclusive jet and dijet production in pp collisions at root s=7 TeV using the ATLAS detector

Journal Article Aad, G ; Abbott, B ; Abdallah, J ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology

Inclusive jet and dijet cross sections have been measured in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV using the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The cross sections were measured using jets clustered with the anti-k{sub t} algorithm with parameters R = 0.4 and R = 0.6. These measurements are based on the 2010 data sample, consisting of a total integrated luminosity of 37 pb{sup -1}. Inclusive jet double-differential cross sections are presented as a function of jet transverse momentum, in bins of jet rapidity. Dijet double-differential cross sections are studied as a function of the dijetmore »« less
