The sources of $W + n$-jet events in hadron collisions are higher-order QCD processes, but also multiple-parton interactions. A subprocess producing a $W + k$-jet final state, followed by one producing $l$ jets in the same nucleon-nucleon…

We analyse W boson production at hadron colliders in association with one or two jets, both with the exact kinematics and in the high-energy limit. We argue that the configurations that are kinematically favoured tend to have the W boson…
