In this contribution we present recent progress in the computation of next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections for the production of an electroweak vector boson in association with jets at hadron colliders. We focus on results obtained using the virtual matrix element library BLACKHAT in conjunction with SHERPA, focusing on results relevant to understanding the background to top production..

Left-Handed W Bosons at the LHC

The production of W bosons in association with jets is an important background to new physics at the LHC. Events in which the W carries large transverse momentum and decays leptonically lead to large missing energy and are of particular importance. [...]

Precise Predictions for W + 4 Jet Production at the Large Hadron Collider

We present the first next-to-leading order QCD results for W + 4-jet production at hadron colliders. Total cross sections, as well as distributions in the jet transverse momenta and in the total transverse energy H_T are provided for the initial LHC energy of \sqrt{s} = 7 TeV. [...]

Next-to-Leading Order {QCD} Predictions for $Z, \gamma^*$ + 3-Jet Distributions at the Tevatron
/ Berger, C.F. (MIT, LNS) ; Bern, Z. (UCLA) ; Dixon, Lance J. (SLAC) ; Febres Cordero, F. (Simon Bolivar U.) ; Forde, D. (CERN ; NIKHEF, Amsterdam) ; Gleisberg, T. (SLAC) ; Ita, H. (UCLA) ; Kosower, D.A. (DAPNIA, Saclay) ; Maitre, D. (Durham U.)
Using BlackHat in conjunction with SHERPA, we have computed next-to-leading order QCD predictions for a variety of distributions in Z,gamma*+1,2,3-jet production at the Tevatron, where the Z boson or off-shell photon decays into an electron-positron pair. We find good agreement between the NLO results for jet p_T distributions and measurements by CDF and D0. [...]

We present several results obtained using the BlackHat next-to-leading order QCD program library, in conjunction with SHERPA. In particular, we present distributions for vector boson plus 1,2,3-jet production at the Tevatron and at the asymptotic running energy of the Large Hadron Collider, including new Z+3-jet distributions.

Multi-Parton Scattering Amplitudes via On-Shell Methods
/ Berger, Carola F. (MIT) ; Forde, Darren (CERN ; NIKHEF, Amsterdam)
We present an overview of recent developments, based on on-shell techniques, in the calculation of multi-parton scattering amplitudes at one loop that are relevant for phenomenological studies at hadron colliders. These new on-shell methods make efficient use of the physical properties of the hard scattering, such as unitarity and factorization..
