    Hadronic final states
    Isolated-photon+jet production in ep collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 318 GeV has been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of up to 300 pb-1. Measurements of prompt-photon+jet cross sections are presented as functions of the photon transverse energy and pseudorapidity in a wide range of exchanged-photon virtuality. In addition, differential gamma+jet...

    Isolated prompt photons provide a direct probe of short-distance physics, complementary to that provided by measurements of jets or vector-bosons. The inclusive prompt photon cross section has been measured over a wide range of transverse momenta; the diphoton cross section has also been measured as a function of diphoton mass, total transverse momentum and azimuthal separation; the cross...

    We present accurate (NLL+NNLO) predictions for jet-veto efficiencies for Higgs and Z production at the LHC, obtained with the automated resummation program CAESAR. We discuss all sources of theoretical uncertainties associated to the presented results, highlighting which further calculations would be needed in order to reduce them.

    Hadronic final states
    The properties of jets are used in many LHC physics searches. Higgs searches use jet vetoes and fixed recoil jet multiplicities. Searches for new physics particles require a careful distinction of decay jets from QCD jet radiation. We show that the exclusive number of jets at hadron colliders can be described with two simple patterns: staircase scaling and Poisson scaling. In photon plus...

    Differential jet cross sections and distributions have been measure inclusively, in dijet events and in multijet events, using information from the ATLAS calorimeters and tracking detectors. The inclusive jet measurements extend from 20 GeV to 1.5 TeV, and the dijet measurements cover a very wide mass range. Measurements based on tracking alone are sensitive only to the charged-particle...

    The theoretical description of multi-jet final states is an issue of great importance at the LHC. The High Energy Jets (HEJ) framework offers a new approach to this and provides an all-order resummation of the dominant contributions from wide-angle QCD radiation. I will give a brief introduction to the framework and then show comparisons to early data from ATLAS and CMS analyses and...

    Inclusive Z boson plus jets cross sections, as well as bottom jet production in association with a Z-boson cross sections, are measured in a final state where the Z boson has decayed in two muons or electrons. Results are based on $\sim 9$ fb$ ^{-1}$ of data in $\rm p\bar{p}$ collisions at $\rm \sqrt{s}$ = 1.96 TeV collected with the CDF detector in Run II. Differential cross sections...

    Hadronic final states
    The production of jets in association with a W or Z boson in proton-proton collisions at 7 TeV is an important process to understand in QCD. The cross section, differential in several kinematics variables, has been measured up to high jet multiplicities and compared to new higher-order QCD calculations. The ratio of (Z + a single jet)/(W + a single jet) can provide a very precise test of...

    The MC@NLO method as implemented in the Sherpa MC generator is presented using the production of W-bosons in conjunction with up to three jets as an example. Corresponding results computed at next-to leading order in QCD and including parton shower corrections are compared to recent experimental data from the Large Hadron Collider.

    We present the recent implementation of CKKW-L merging inside Pythia8, and comment on the treatment of multiparton interactions in the context of matrix element merging. Since multiple interactions inside Pythia8 are fully interleaved with space- and time-like showers, care has to be taken when allowing for MPI. Further, we will discuss the uncertainties of the implementation.

    Hadronic final states
    Parton shower Monte Carlos are by now standard tools to simulate hadronic final states. Having seen a tremendous improvement of combining parton showers and fixed order calculations in recent years, efforts are now underway to improve the shower approximations themselves, as well. In this contribution we will present first steps towards including subleading colour contributions into...

    We present a subtraction method for including next to leading order corrections to a 2 to 2 jet production process in kt-factorisation equivalent to a jet matching procedure in Monte Carlo generators. We study the improvement in soft cut dependance.

    In the framework of the kt-factorization approach, the production of unpolarized Drell-Yan lepton pair at high energies is studied. The consideration is based on the O(alpha) and $O(alpha alpha_s) off-shell partonic matrix elements with virtual photon and Z boson exchange. The calculations include leptonic decays of Z bosons with full spin correlations as well as gamma - Z interference. The...

    We discuss the differential cross sections for electroweak gauge-boson and Higgs production at small and very small transverse momentum q_T. Large logarithms are resummed using soft-collinear effective theory. The collinear anomaly generates a non-perturbative scale q^โˆ—, which protects the processes from receiving large long-distance hadronic contributions. A numerical comparison of our...

    Distinguishing light-quark jets from gluon jets on an event-by-event basis could significantly enhance the reach for many new physics searches at the Large Hadron Collider. Through an exhaustive search of existing and novel jet substructure observables, we find that a multivariate approach can filter out over 95% of the gluon jets while keeping more than half of the light-quark jets. Moreover,...

    New results on normalised inclusive jet, di-jet and trijet differential cross sections in neutral current deep-inelastic ep scattering (DIS) based on a regularised unfolding procedure are presented. Detector effects like acceptance and migrations as well as statistical correlations between the multi-jets and the inclusive DIS events are taken into account in this procedure. The DIS phase space...

    Fragmentation functions, which turn partons into non-perturbative hadronic bound states in hard-scattering reactions, play a very important role in our understanding of the proton structure. Currently, our knowledge of fragmentation functions originates mainly from existing global QCD analyses which are mostly based on inclusive measurements in electron-positron annihilation process. While...

    The phenomenological structure of inclusive cross sections of the production of two neutral K mesons in hadron-hadron, hadron-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions is investigated taking into account the strangeness conservation in strong and electromagnetic interactions.

    The internal structure of jets produced in proton-proton collisions at 7 TeV centre-of-mass energy provides a direct test of QCD calculations of gluon and quark radiation, as well as having sensitivity to hadronisation and underlying event.

    We study the jet-mass distribution for jets produced in hadron-hadron collision in QCD. In order to obtain reliable phenomenological results we resum to all-order in perturbation theory those contributions coming from collinear and soft gluons. Beyond the leading-logarithmic accuracy the resummation is made more complicated by the presence of non-global logarithms and logarithms related to the...

    Top momentum reconstruction often plays an important role for new physics signal reconstruction at the LHC. In principle for a hadronically decaying top, it is possible to reconstruct its momentum fully but one suffers from large QCD and combinatorial backgrounds. Starting from geometrically large sizes of jets and looking into their substructure, we can efficiently reduce these background....

    We review the modelling of multiple interactions in the event generator Herwig++ and study implications of recent tuning efforts to Tevatron and LHC data. A crucial ingredient to a successful description of minimum bias and underlying event observables is a model for colour reconnection. Improvements to this model inspired by statistical physics are presented.
