| Abstract: Measurements of the differential cross-sections for a $\mathrm{W}(\rightarrow \mu\nu)$ boson produced in association with jets are presented here. The measurements use a data sample of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV that was recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC, and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 19.6 fb$^{-1}$. The cross sections are reported as a function of jet multiplicity, the jet transverse momenta, and the scalar sum of jet transverse momenta ($H_\mathrm{T}$) for different jet multiplicities. Several angular correlation distributions among the jets and the muon are also examined, as well as the distributions of the average number of jets as a function of $H_\mathrm{T}$ and as a function of angular variables. Such angular distributions are sensitive to the modeling of higher order corrections, and to the modeling of parton emissions. The cross section measurements are then compared with the predictions from leading-order and multileg next-to-leading-order Monte Carlo generators, fixed order next-to-leading-order theoretical predictions for up to four jets as well as next-to-next-to-leading-order predictions of W+1 jet. | ||

| Summary |
|
Measurements of the cross sections and differential cross sections for a $\mathrm{ W }$ boson produced in association with jets in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV were presented. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.6 fb$^{-1}$ and were collected with the CMS detector during the 2012 proton-proton run of the LHC. Cross sections determined using the muon decay mode of the W boson were presented as functions of the jet multiplicity, the $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ and pseudorapidities of the four leading jets, the $H_{\mathrm{T}}$ for jet multiplicities up to four, and the dijet $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ and invariant mass. Cross sections were also presented as a function of several angular correlation variables: rapidity separation, azimuthal angle separation and $\Delta R$ separation among $p_{\mathrm{T}}$-ordered and rapidity-ordered jets, and azimuthal angle separation between the muon and the leading jet. The distribution of the mean number of jets as a function of $H_{\mathrm{T}}$ and rapidity differences among jets were examined. The results were corrected for all detector effects by means of regularised unfolding and compared with particle-level simulated predictions at LO (MADGRAPH+PYTHIA), NLO (SHERPA-2, MadGraph5$\_$aMC@NLO, and BLACKHAT+ sherpa) and NNLO. The predictions generally describe the jet multiplicity within the uncertainties, with increasing deviations observed in SHERPA-2 for jet multiplicities beyond four, where four corresponds to the number of partons included at CMS in the matrix element calculation for those generators. The cross sections as a function of the $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ of the leading, second-, and third-leading jets are overestimated by MADGRAPH+PYTHIA in a region of intermediate $p_{\mathrm{T}}$, and by SHERPA-2 at low-$p_{\mathrm{T}}$. The cross sections as a function of $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ predicted by BLACKHAT+ sherpa agree with the measurements within uncertainties. The predictions from MadGraph5$\_$aMC@NLO are very similar to the predictions of MADGRAPH+PYTHIA for most distributions. The predictions from BLACKHAT+ sherpa underestimate the measurement of the cross section as a function of $H_{\mathrm{T}}$ for $N_\text{jet} \geq 1$, since the contribution from $\mathrm{ W }$+$\geq$3 jets is missing from an NLO prediction of $\mathrm{ W }$+$\geq$1 jet. The cross sections as a function of $H_{\mathrm{T}}$ predicted by SHERPA-2 overestimate the measurement of the cross section, particularly at high $H_{\mathrm{T}}$. The jet $| \eta |$ distribution shows some deviations for large values of $| \eta |$ and the angular correlation distributions in rapidity difference show deviations for large opening angles. The distribution of the azimuthal angle between the muon and the leading jet is not well modelled by BLACKHAT+ sherpa for jet multiplicity of 1. The correlation distributions in azimuthal angle among jets agree with data, as do the mean number of jets distributions, both as a function of angular correlation variables and of $H_{\mathrm{T}}$. The NNLO predictions of $\mathrm{ W }$+1 jet were compared with the results of the leading jet $p_{\mathrm{T}}$, $H_{\mathrm{T}}$, and $| \eta |$. They agree within uncertainties. |
