A simple method to simulate W/Z + jet production at hadron collisions with PS-ME matching
Abstract
We propose a simple method to simulate W/Z + jet productions at hadron collisions. The simulation can be done by using existing tools with some modifications allowed to users. W/Z + 1 jet events are generated using an ME-based event generator at the tree level. The divergence at low pT is suppressed by using the Sudakov form factor. PS is added with an appropriate consideration for PS-ME matching. The simulation for the W + 1 jet production shows a smooth matching with the W + 0 jet simulation at low pTs. The Z + 1 jet simulation in the Tevatron Run I condition well reproduces the experimental measurement on the pT spectrum of Z.
