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 $H_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{jets}}$. We use the ratios to extrapolate the total cross section, and the differential distribution in $H_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{jets}}$, to $W$+6-jet production. We use the BlackHat software library in conjunction with SHERPA to perform the computations.
