Measurement of the production cross section of jets in association with a Z boson in pp collisions at s√ = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Measurements of the production of jets of particles in association with a Z boson in pp collisions at s√=7 TeV are presented, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.6 fb−1 collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Inclusive and differential jet cross sections in Z events, with Z decaying into electron or muon pairs, are measured for jets with transverse momentum p T > 30 GeV and rapidity |y| < 4.4. The results are compared to next-to-leading-order perturbative QCD calculations, and to predictions from different Monte Carlo generators based on leading-order and next-to-leading-order matrix elements supplemented by parton showers.
