Description

Measurement of the transverse momentum of the Z boson performed by the ATLAS collaboration is reported for sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. The measurement is sensitive to soft resummation effects for small momentum transfers and to multiple hard jet emissions for large momentum transfers, probing QCD in a unique way. The data are used to tune NLO plus parton shower Monte Carlo simulations.
