Universality in W+Multijet Production
Abstract
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, and the ratio of distributions in the total transverse hadronic jet energy H T jets. We use the ratios to extrapolate the total cross section, and the differential distribution in H T jets, to W+6-jet production. We use the BlackHat software library in conjunction with SHERPA to perform the computations.
