The measurement of hadronic activity recoiling against W and Z vector bosons provides an important test of perturbative QCD, as well as a method of searching for new physics in a model independent fashion. We present a study of the cross-section ratio for the production of W and Z gauge bosons in association with exactly one jet Rjet = {sigma}(W + 1jet)/{sigma}(Z + 1jet), in pp collisions at surds = 7 TeV. The study is performed in the electron and muon channels with data collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The ratio Rjet is studied as a function of the cumulative transverse momentum distribution of the jet. This result can be compared to NLO pQCD calculations and the prediction from LO matrix element + parton shower generators.

This paper summarises results on W and Z plus jet production in pp collisions at $sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, from both the ATLAS and CMS experiments. Based on the 2010 and 2011 datasets, measurements have been made of numerous cross sections providing excellent tests of the latest predictions from QCD calculations and event generators.
A precision measurement of jet cross sections in neutral current deep-inelastic scattering for photon virtualities $5.5<Q^2<80,{rm GeV}^2$ and inelasticities $0.2<y<0.6$ is presented, using data taken with the H1 detector at HERA, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $290,{rm pb}^{-1}$. Double-differential inclusive jet, dijet and trijet cross sections are measured simultaneously and are presented as a function of jet transverse momentum observables and as a function of $Q^2$. Jet cross sections normalised to the inclusive neutral current DIS cross section in the respective $Q^2$-interval are also determined. Previous results of inclusive jet cross sections in the range $150<Q^2<15,000,{rm GeV}^2$ are extended to low transverse jet momenta $5<P_{T}^{rm jet}<7,{rm GeV}$. The data are compared to predictions from perturbative QCD in next-to-leading order in the strong coupling, in approximate next-to-next-to-leading order and in full next-to-next-to-leading order. Using also the recently published H1 jet data at high values of $Q^2$, the strong coupling constant $alpha_s(M_Z)$ is determined in next-to-leading order.
Measurements of the $Z to tautau$ and $W to tau u_tau$ cross-sections at the LHC with data taken at $sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV are reported for the ATLAS, CMS, and LHCb experiments. All results are found to agree with the Standard Model.
We calculate the production of a W boson in association with up to two jets including at least one b-jet to next-to-leading order (NLO) in QCD at the CERN Large Hadron Collider with 7 TeV center-of-mass energy. Both exclusive and inclusive event cross section and b-jet cross sections are presented. The calculation is performed consistently in the five-flavor-number scheme where both q anti-q and bq (q == b) initiated parton level processes are included at NLO QCD. We study the residual theoretical uncertainties of the NLO predictions due to the renormalization and factorization scale dependence, to the uncertainty from the parton distribution functions, and to the values of alpha_s and the bottom-quark mass.
A measurement of the $bjet$ production cross section is presented for events containing a $Z$ boson produced in $pbar{p}$ collisions at $sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2 fb$^{-1}$ collected by the CDF II detector at the Tevatron. $Z$ bosons are selected in the electron and muon decay modes. Jets are considered with transverse energy $E_T>20$ GeV and pseudorapidity $|eta|<1.5$ and are identified as $bjets$ using a secondary vertex algorithm. The ratio of the integrated $Z+bjet$ cross section to the inclusive $Z$ production cross section is measured to be $3.32 pm 0.53 {rm (stat.)} pm 0.42 {rm (syst.)}times 10^{-3}$. This ratio is also measured differentially in jet $E_T$, jet $eta$, $Z$-boson transverse momentum, number of jets, and number of $bjets$. The predictions from leading order Monte Carlo generators and next-to-leading-order QCD calculations are found to be consistent with the measurements within experimental and theoretical uncertainties.
