In a previous paper, hereafter referred to as I, we have analyzed the 7 TeV LHC data on W + jets events from the standpoint of IR-improved DGLAP parton shower effects, using the IR-improved Herwiri1.031 parton shower MC in comparison with the Herwig6.5 parton shower MC in the context of the exact $O(alpha_s)$ matrix element matched parton shower framework provided by MG5_aMC@NLO. In the current paper, we extend this analysis to the LHC 8 and 13 TeV data to investigate the energy dependence of the results obtained in I. Specifically, W~+ jet events are generated in the MADGRAPH5_aMC@NLO framework and showered by HERWIG6.521 and HERWIRI1.031 with $mathtt{PTRMS}=2.2$ and 0 GeV, respectively. The differential cross sections are reported as functions of jet multiplicity, transverse linear momenta ($P_{T}$), the jet pesudo-rapidity ($eta$) and the scalar sum of jet transverse momenta ($H_{T}$) for different jet multiplicities 1--3. The dijet cross sections as functions of transverse linear momenta, invariant mass of the dijet and the jet separation are shown as well. Distributions of angular correlations between the jets and the muon are examined as well and the corresponding cross sections are presented. The respective measured cross sections are compared with the exact next-to-leading-order (NLO) matrix element matched parton shower theoretical predictions provided by MADGRAPH5_aMC@NLO/HERWIRI1.031~($mathtt{PTRMS}=0)$ and MADGRAPH5_aMC@NLO/HERWIG6.521~($mathtt{PTRMS}=2.2~mathrm{GeV})$ and the phenomenological consequences are discussed with an eye toward their energy dependence.

The production cross-sections of $Upsilon(1S)$, $Upsilon(2S)$ and $Upsilon(3S)$ mesons in proton-proton collisions at $sqrt{s}$= 13 TeV are measured with a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $277 pm 11$ $rm pb^{-1}$ recorded by the LHCb experiment in 2015. The $Upsilon$ mesons are reconstructed in the decay mode $Upsilontomu^{+}mu^{-}$. The differential production cross-sections times the dimuon branching fractions are measured as a function of the $Upsilon$ transverse momentum, $p_{rm T}$, and rapidity, $y$, over the range $0 < p_{rm T}< 30$ GeV/c and $2.0 < y < 4.5$. The ratios of the cross-sections with respect to the LHCb measurement at $sqrt{s}$= 8 TeV are also determined. The measurements are compared with theoretical predictions based on NRQCD.
Associated production of bottomonia and open charm hadrons in $pp$ collisions at $sqrt{s}=7$ and $8$TeV is observed using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3$fb^{-1}$ accumulated with the LHCb detector. The observation of five combinations, $Upsilon(1S)D^0$, $Upsilon(2S)D^0$, $Upsilon(1S)D^+$, $Upsilon(2S)D^+$ and $Upsilon(1S)D^+_{s}$, is reported. Production cross-sections are measured for $Upsilon(1S)D^0$ and $Upsilon(1S)D^+$ pairs in the forward region. The measured cross-sections and the differential distributions indicate the dominance of double parton scattering as the main production mechanism. This allows a precise measurement of the effective cross-section for double parton scattering.
The production of $W$ and $Z$ bosons in association with jets is studied in the forward region of proton-proton collisions collected at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.98 $pm$ 0.02 fb$^{-1}$. The $W$ boson is identified using its decay to a muon and a neutrino, while the $Z$ boson is identified through its decay to a muon pair. Total cross-sections are measured and combined into charge ratios, asymmetries, and ratios of $W+$jet and $Z$+jet production cross-sections. Differential measurements are also performed as a function of both boson and jet kinematic variables. All results are in agreement with Standard Model predictions.
Production of quarks and gluons in hadron collisions tests Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) over a wide range of energy. Models of QCD are implemented in event generators to simulate hadron collisions and evolution of quarks and gluons into jets of hadrons. PYTHIA8 uses the parton shower model for simulating particle collisions and is optimized using experimental observations. Recent measurements of event shape variables and jet cross-sections in pp collisions at $sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider have been used to optimize the parton shower model as used in PYTHIA8.
A measurement of the production cross-section of Z bosons in pp collisions at $sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV is presented using dimuon and dielectron final states in LHCb data. The cross-section is measured for leptons with pseudorapidities in the range $2.0 < eta < 4.5$, transverse momenta $p_text{T} > 20$ GeV and dilepton invariant mass in the range $60<m(ellell)<120$ GeV. The integrated cross-section from averaging the two final states is begin{equation*}sigma_{text{Z}}^{ellell} = 194.3 pm 0.9 pm 3.3 pm 7.6text{ pb,}end{equation*} where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is due to systematic effects, and the third is due to the luminosity determination. In addition, differential cross-sections are measured as functions of the Z boson rapidity, transverse momentum and the angular variable $phi^*_eta$.
