Abstract

We study $W$ -boson production accompanied by multiple jets at 7 TeV at the LHC. We study the jet-production ratio, of total cross sections for $W$ + $n$ - to $W$ +( $n-1$ )-jet production, and the ratio of distributions in the total transverse hadronic jet energy $H_{\rm T}^{\rm jets}$ . We use the ratios to extrapolate the total cross section, and the differential distribution in $H_{\rm T}^{\rm jets}$ , to $W$ +6-jet production. We use the BlackHat software library in conjunction with SHERPA to perform the computations.
