Description

The current status of the R+Jets ratio measurement of W to Z production cross sections in association with jets with the ATLAS detector, using 7TeV pp collisions of the 2011 ATLAS dataset. Cross section ratios for the vector bosons decaying to electron and muons are measured for jets with transverse momentum PT > 30GeV and jet rapidity |y| < 4.4 and compared to predictions from different Monte Carlo generators and NLO calculations.
