Abstract
We report on potential for measurement of W and Z boson production, as well as the production in association with jets. Of particular interest are jet multiplicity and distributions. The 10 to datasets expected in the startup year of operation of LHC are likely to already provide information beyond the reach of the Tevatron collider both in jet multiplicity and range. We are especially interested in understanding the ratios of W+jets to Z+jets distributions by comparing them to next-to-leading order Monte Carlo generators, as these processes present a formidable background for searches of new physics phenomena.
