These proceedings discuss W/Z+Jets production cross section measurements and their use to understand the detectors and their performances after the LHC start-up. At the same time, these processes are a major source of background to new physics searches, such as SUSY. Methods, mostly data-driven, to identify these events as signals and backgrounds to searches will be presented.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-10-20T12:23:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "background", "production cross section measurements", "standard model", "important channels", "lhc start-up" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 799889, "adsabs": "2008arXiv0810.3284D" } } }
