Dettagli

The production of W and Z bosons in association with jets (W/Z+jets) at the LHC provides an unprecedented opportunity to study QCD in the high-energy regime. As experimental precision improves and the amount of data increases, growing attention is being devoted to specific aspects of W/Z+jets production, such as extreme phase spaces with high-transverse-momentum jets, jet substructure, and heavy-flavor production. In addition, W/Z+jets processes constitute significant backgrounds to Higgs boson signatures and potential new physics topologies. Therefore, these measurements are essential for improving the modeling of Monte Carlo event generators, leading to a reduction in W/Z+jets background uncertainties. In this seminar, the latest W/Z+jets results from the ATLAS experiment are presented. Differential distributions measured in data are compared with predictions from state-of-the-art Monte Carlo event generators and fixed-order QCD calculations.
