Description

We will review our recent calculation of Z boson production in association with a jet up to Next-to-Next-to Leading Order (NNLO) precision in QCD, as shown in arXiv:1507.02850. This is a key process at the LHC, given its large event rate and clean signature with the Z boson decaying leptonically. We will discuss our approach using the antenna subtraction scheme and present new results of the fully inclusive Z pT distribution.
