Measurement of the production cross section of jets in association with a Z boson in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV with the ATLAS detector

Measurements of the production of jets of particles in association with a Z boson in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV are presented, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.6/fb collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Inclusive and differential jet cross sections in Z events, with Z decaying into electron or muon pairs, are measured for jets with transverse momentum pT > 30 GeV and rapidity |y| < 4.4. The results are compared to next-to-leading-order perturbative QCD calculations, and to predictions from different Monte Carlo generators based on leading-order and next-to-leading-order matrix elements supplemented by parton showers.

Numbers of events observed in data and predicted in simulation that pass the Z(->ee)+jets and Z(->mumu)+jets selection as a function of the invariant mass of the Z candidate,(a) m(ee) and (b) m(mumu),for events with at least one jet with pT > 30 GeV and |y| <4.4, and as a function of the inclusive jet multiplicity, Njet , in (c) di-electron and (d) di-muon events. The individual contributions of the various backgrounds are also shown, as detailed in the legend. The hatched band corresponds to the combined statistical and systematic uncertainty on the prediction, obtained using alp to model the Z+jets process. The error bars on each data point show the statistical uncertainty. The bottom panel shows the corresponding MC/data ratio. The shaded band corresponds to the total systematic uncertainty and the error bars to the statistical uncertainty on the MC/data ratio.

(a) Measured cross section for Z(->mumu)+jets as a function of the scalar pT sum of the leptons and the jets, HT, and (b) as a function of the transverse momentum of the Z candidate, pT(mumu), in events with at least one jet with pT > 30 GeV and |y| <4.4 in the final state. The cross sections are normalized to the inclusive Z->mumu cross section.

Figure 57a


(a) Measured cross section for Z(->ee)+jets as a function of the transverse momentum, pT, of the third leading jet and (b) as a function of the absolute value of the rapidity, |y|, of the third leading jet in events passing the VBF preselection (at least two jets with |y| <4.4, pT > 30 GeV and m(jj) >350GeV and dy(jj) >3.0 for the two leading jets). The cross sections are normalized to the inclusive Z->ee cross section. The data are compared to NLO pQCD predictions from BH+SHERPA corrected to the particle level, and the ALPGEN and SHERPA event generators (see legend for details). The error bars indicate the statistical uncertainty on the data, and the hatched (shaded) bands the statistical and systematic uncertainties on data (prediction) added in quadrature.

Figure 59a


(a) Measured cross section after extrapolation to the common phase space as a function of the exclusive jet multiplicity and (b) as a function of the transverse momentum, pT, of the leading jet in Z(->ee)+jets (red squares) and Z(->mm)+jets events (blue triangles) and for the combination of electron and muon channel. The bottom panel shows the ratio of the cross sections measured in the electron and in the muon channel to the combined cross section. The shaded band corresponds to the uncorrelated part of the systematic uncertainty on the combined cross section and the error bars mark the statistical uncertainties of the cross section ratios. The cross sections measured in the electron and in the muon channel are consistent.
