W+3jet production at the LHC as a signal or background

Abstract
We discuss the production of W bosons in association with three jets at the LHC. We investigate how next-to-leading order QCD corrections modify basic kinematic distributions of jets and leptons. We also address the magnitude of next-to-leading QCD effects in W+3 jet observables, relevant for supersymmetry searches at the LHC.
