W/Z + jet production at the Tevatron

Abstract

Vector boson plus jet production is interesting for Higgs search, beyond the Standard Model physics and provides standard candles for calibration. This is complementary to inclusive jet production measurements which provide precision tests of perturbative QCD. A multitude of W/Z plus heavy and light flavour jet measurements in ppbar collisions at a centre of mass energy of sqrts=1.96TeV is discussed. Next-to-Leading order perturbative QCD predictions and various models are compared to the measurements.
