Abstract:
Measurements are reported of differential cross sections for the production of a W boson, which decays
into a muon and a neutrino, in association with jets, as a function of several variables, including the
transverse momenta (pT) and pseudorapidities of the four leading jets, the scalar sum of jet transverse
momenta (HT), and the difference in azimuthal angle between the directions of each jet and the muon.
The data sample of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV was collected with the CMS detector
at the LHC and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb−1. The measured cross sections are
compared to predictions from Monte Carlo generators, MadGraph + pythia and sherpa, and to nextto-leading-order calculations from BlackHat + sherpa. The differential cross sections are found to be in
agreement with the predictions, apart from the pT distributions of the leading jets at high pT values,
the distributions of the HT at high-HT and low jet multiplicity, and the distribution of the difference in
azimuthal angle between the leading jet and the muon at low values.
