W+n-Jet Predictions With MC(at)NLO in Sherpa

Description

Results for the production of W-bosons in conjunction with up to three jets including parton shower corrections are presented and compared to recent LHC data. These results consistently incorporate the full next-to leading order QCD corrections through the MC(at)NLO method, as implemented in the SHERPA event generator, with the virtual corrections obtained from the BLACKHAT library.
