Multi-jet cross sections at NLO with BlackHat and Sherpa

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-05-19 v1

Abstract

In this talk, we report on a recent next-to-leading order QCD calculation of the production of a W boson in association with three jets at hadron colliders. The computation is performed by combining two programs, BlackHat for the computation of the virtual one-loop matrix elements and Sherpa for the real emission part.
