Jets inWandZproduction from QCD showers

Abstract
A QCD-shower Monte Carlo model is used to calculate n-jet production in association with W,Z bosons at the CERN pp¯ collider. The shower approach is unique in allowing complete predictions of all W, Z, and jet observables with no restriction to low orders. The results agree well with the observed distributions in PT(W,Z), jet multiplicity, jet ET, jet polar angle, and W+jet invariant mass.
