Description

I will describe the next-to-leading order Monte Carlo program (MCFM), written in collaboration with John Campbell, which produces distributions for many standard model processes yielding leptons, photons, missing energy, jets or heavy quarks. After a brief theoretical introduction, I will illustrate the utility of the program by presenting results for: a) pp -> W+gamma, b) pp -> W+b bbar, Z+b bbar, c) pp -> W+1 jet, Z+1 jet, d) pp -> W+2 jets, Z+2 jets.
