Description

Results are presented on the production of jets of particles in association with a $Z/𝛾^*$ boson, in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7  TeV$ with the ATLAS detector. The analysis includes the full 2010 data set, collected with a low rate of multiple proton-proton collisions in the accelerator, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $36  pb^{−1}$. Inclusive jet cross sections in $Z/𝛾^*$ events, with $Z/𝛾^*$ decaying into electron or muon pairs, are measured for jets with transverse momentum $𝑝_𝑇>30  GeV$ and jet rapidity $|𝑦|<4.4$. The measurements are compared to next-to-leading-order perturbative QCD calculations, and to predictions from different Monte Carlo generators implementing leading-order matrix elements supplemented by parton showers.
