Jet and W/Z Production at Hadron Colliders
arXiv:1001.2954
Abstract
The start of the physics program at the LHC has added great impetus in the development of powerful theoretical tools to meet the many challenges that this collider brings. The production of jets and weak vector bosons is at the center of most analyses, from machine performance to new physics searches. In this talk we review some recent advances in the study of jets, in the computation of quantum corrections to processes with large jet multiplicity and their impact in W/Z+jets and W/Z+b-jets production at the Tevatron and the LHC.
