Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present measurements of differential cross sections in inclusive Z/[gamma]* plus jet production in a data sample of 1 fb−1 collected with the D0 detector in proton antiproton collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV. Measured variables include the Z/[gamma]* transverse momentum (p{sub T}{sup Z}) and rapidity (y{sup Z}), the leading jet transverse momentum (p{sub T}{sup jet}) and rapidity (y{sup jet}), as well as various angles of the Z+jet system. We compare the results to different Monte Carlo event generators and next-to-leading order perturbative QCD (NLO pQCD) predictions, with non-perturbative corrections applied.
