W/Z/g + Jets Overview • W+Jets: • Only studied at present as background to other physics (TTbar, Single Top, SUSY • Z + Jets: • SM Test of pQCD in Z+Njets • “Data-Based” calibration of physics backgrounds from Z decays such as Z->nn for SUSY and Z-> BBbar for Higgs , and Ws by inference • Jet energy scale calibration • g + Jets: • Only studied at present in the context of jet energy scale calibration J.

Guidance from the Tevatron SM Tests of W+Jets Spectra are sensitive to choice of renormalization and factorization scales J. Proudfoot, CTEQ LHC Workshop, MSU, May 2007
More Guidance from the TeVatron Backgrounds to Z+Jets do not show the same increase as a function of Jet Pt and the number of jets - at least for a suitable event selection (DR between leptons and jets) BUT - this is hard to establish for the LHC until we have DATA W + Jets Increasing and significant rate of QCD and Top backgrounds to W+Jets Top Background in W+Jets will be even worse at the LHC J.
