We study W -boson production accompanied by multiple jets at 7 TeV at the LHC. We study the jet-production ratio, of total cross sections for W + n-to W + (n−1)-jet production, along with the ratio of distributions in the total transverse hadronic jet energy H jets T . We use these ratios to extrapolate the total cross section, and the differential distribution in H jets T , to W + 6-jet production. We use the BLACKHAT software library in conjunction with SHERPA to perform the computations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
