Description

The use of NLO and multileg Monte Carlo generators by the ATLAS experiment in
the analysis of 13 TeV data is discussed. Procedures to validate these
generators by comparing results obtained using data collected at 7 TeV,
8 TeV and 13 TeV to the generator predictions are described. Techniques
used to evaluate systematic uncertainties on Monte Carlo modelling are
also discussed.
