¡ Our understanding and modelling of QCD interactions have direct impact on the potential for precision measurements and discoveries § Accurate modeling of Soft and Hard QCD processes is of paramount importance for the success of
collider physics programs
¡ We experimentally probe and test different aspects of QCD calculations and modelling to improve the understanding of SM physics § In addition we can improve descriptions of QCD production mechanisms, backgrounds to rare
processes, e.g. EW, new physics channels and can enhance sensitivity to new physics, e.g. jets, V+jets, VV

¡ Great progress made in past years in calculations and modeling of QCD production mechanisms, driven by higher and higher experimental accuracy
¡ QCD measurement are becoming more and more precision measurements § Reaching the percent level on experimental uncertainties
¡ Despite this great theoretical progress in recent years there are still theory uncertainties related to various sources which can be constrained by data
§ Many measurements have reached sensitivity to QCD effects beyond the NLO accuracy at hadron colliders ▪ However most of SM processes are known to NLO in pQCD in hadron colliders, so we need
more NNLO differential calculations to match experimental precision § Measurements constrain soft QCD modeling, proton parton densities (PDF), prompt new
developments in MC generators

larity silicon pixel and microstrip detectors allow for the re-construction of secondary decay vertices. The electromagneticcalorimeter uses lead absorbers and liquid argon as the activematerial and covers the rapidity range |!| < 3.2, with high lon-gitudinal and transverse granularity for electromagnetic showerreconstruction. For electron detection the transition region be-tween the barrel and end-cap calorimeters, 1.37 < |!| < 1.52,is not considered in this analysis. The hadronic tile calorime-ter is a steel/scintillating-tile detector that extends the instru-mented depth of the calorimeter to fully contain hadronic par-ticle showers. In the forward regions it is complemented bytwo end-cap calorimeters using liquid argon as the active ma-terial and copper or tungsten as the absorber material. Themuon spectrometer comprises three large air-core supercon-ducting toroidal magnets which provide a typical field integralof 3 Tm. Three stations of chambers provide precise trackinginformation in the range |!| < 2.7, and triggers for high mo-mentum muons in the range |!| < 2.4. The transverse energyET is defined to be Esin", where E is the energy associatedwith a calorimeter cell or energy cluster. Similarly, pT is themomentum component transverse to the beam line.
3. Collision data and simulated samples
3.1. Collision dataThe analysis presented here is performed on data from pp
collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV recorded by AT-LAS in 2010 in stable beams periods and uses data selectedfor good detector performance. The events were selected on-line by requiring at least one electron or muon with high trans-verse momentum, pT. The trigger thresholds evolved withtime to keep up with the increasing instantaneous luminositydelivered by the LHC. The highest thresholds applied in thelast data taking period were ET > 15 GeV for electrons andpT > 13 GeV for muons. The integrated luminosity after beam,detector and data-quality requirements is 36.2 pb!1(35.5 pb!1)
!ln tan("/2). The distance !R in ! ! # space is defined as !R =!
!#2 + !!2.
for events collected with the electron (muon) trigger, measuredwith a ±3.4% relative error [13, 14].
3.2. Simulated events
The measurements will be compared to theoretical predic-tions of the Standard Model, using Monte-Carlo samples ofsignal and background processes. The detector response to thegenerated events is fully simulated with GEANT4 [15].
Samples of signal events containing a Z boson decayinginto electrons or muons and at least one b-jet have been sim-ulated using the ALPGEN, SHERPA, and MCFM generators,using the CTEQ6.6 PDF set [16]. All three generators includeZ/$" interference terms. The ALPGEN generator is interfacedto HERWIG [17] for parton shower and fragmentation, andJIMMY for the underlying event simulation [18]. For jets orig-inating from the hadronisation of light quarks or gluons (here-after referred to as light-jets), the LO generator ALPGEN usesMLM matching [19] to remove any double counting of iden-tical jets produced via the matrix element and parton shower,but this is not available for b-jets in the present version. There-fore events containing two b-quarks with !R < 0.4 (!R > 0.4)coming from the matrix element (parton shower) contributionare removed. SHERPA uses the CKKW [20] matching for thesame purpose. The MCFM NLO generator lacks an interfaceto a parton shower and fragmentation package, hence to com-pare with the data we apply correction factors describing theparton-to-particle correspondence, obtained from particle-levelLO simulations. For all Monte-Carlo events, the cross-sectionis normalised by rescaling the inclusive Z cross-section of therelevant generator to the NNLO cross-section [21].
The dominant background comes from Z + jets events, withthe Z decaying into electrons, muons or tau leptons, where onejet is a light or c-jet which has been incorrectly tagged as ab-jet. These events are simulated using the same generatorsas the signal. Other background processes considered includet t pair production simulated by MC@NLO [22, 23], W(# l%)+ jets simulated by PYTHIA [24], WW/WZ/ZZ simulated byALPGEN, and single-top production simulated by [email protected] cross-sections for these processes have been normalisedto the predictions of [25, 26] (approximate NNLO) for t t pairproduction, [21] (NNLO) for W(# l%) + jets, [3] (NLO) forWW/WZ/ZZ, and the MC@NLO value for single-top.
Events have been generated with the number of collision ver-tices drawn from a Poisson distribution with an average of 2.0vertices per event. Simulated events are then reweighted tomatch the observed vertex distribution in the data.
4. Reconstruction and selection of Z + b candidates
Events are required to contain one primary vertex with atleast three high-quality charged tracks. As the final state shouldcontain a Z boson, the selection of events closely follows theselection criteria used by ATLAS for the inclusive Z analysis[27]. In the e+e! channel, two opposite sign electron candi-dates are required with ET > 20 GeV and |!| < 2.47. Electron

The measurements will be compared to theoretical predic-tions of the Standard Model, using Monte-Carlo samples ofsignal and background processes. The detector response to thegenerated events is fully simulated with GEANT4 [15].
Samples of signal events containing a Z boson decayinginto electrons or muons and at least one b-jet have been sim-ulated using the ALPGEN, SHERPA, and MCFM generators,using the CTEQ6.6 PDF set [16]. All three generators includeZ/$" interference terms. The ALPGEN generator is interfacedto HERWIG [17] for parton shower and fragmentation, andJIMMY for the underlying event simulation [18]. For jets orig-inating from the hadronisation of light quarks or gluons (here-after referred to as light-jets), the LO generator ALPGEN usesMLM matching [19] to remove any double counting of iden-tical jets produced via the matrix element and parton shower,but this is not available for b-jets in the present version. There-fore events containing two b-quarks with !R < 0.4 (!R > 0.4)coming from the matrix element (parton shower) contributionare removed. SHERPA uses the CKKW [20] matching for thesame purpose. The MCFM NLO generator lacks an interfaceto a parton shower and fragmentation package, hence to com-pare with the data we apply correction factors describing theparton-to-particle correspondence, obtained from particle-levelLO simulations. For all Monte-Carlo events, the cross-sectionis normalised by rescaling the inclusive Z cross-section of therelevant generator to the NNLO cross-section [21].
The dominant background comes from Z + jets events, withthe Z decaying into electrons, muons or tau leptons, where onejet is a light or c-jet which has been incorrectly tagged as ab-jet. These events are simulated using the same generatorsas the signal. Other background processes considered includet t pair production simulated by MC@NLO [22, 23], W(# l%)+ jets simulated by PYTHIA [24], WW/WZ/ZZ simulated byALPGEN, and single-top production simulated by [email protected] cross-sections for these processes have been normalisedto the predictions of [25, 26] (approximate NNLO) for t t pairproduction, [21] (NNLO) for W(# l%) + jets, [3] (NLO) forWW/WZ/ZZ, and the MC@NLO value for single-top.
Events have been generated with the number of collision ver-tices drawn from a Poisson distribution with an average of 2.0vertices per event. Simulated events are then reweighted tomatch the observed vertex distribution in the data.
4. Reconstruction and selection of Z + b candidates
Events are required to contain one primary vertex with atleast three high-quality charged tracks. As the final state shouldcontain a Z boson, the selection of events closely follows theselection criteria used by ATLAS for the inclusive Z analysis[27]. In the e+e! channel, two opposite sign electron candi-dates are required with ET > 20 GeV and |!| < 2.47. Electron

larity silicon pixel and microstrip detectors allow for the re-construction of secondary decay vertices. The electromagneticcalorimeter uses lead absorbers and liquid argon as the activematerial and covers the rapidity range |!| < 3.2, with high lon-gitudinal and transverse granularity for electromagnetic showerreconstruction. For electron detection the transition region be-tween the barrel and end-cap calorimeters, 1.37 < |!| < 1.52,is not considered in this analysis. The hadronic tile calorime-ter is a steel/scintillating-tile detector that extends the instru-mented depth of the calorimeter to fully contain hadronic par-ticle showers. In the forward regions it is complemented bytwo end-cap calorimeters using liquid argon as the active ma-terial and copper or tungsten as the absorber material. Themuon spectrometer comprises three large air-core supercon-ducting toroidal magnets which provide a typical field integralof 3 Tm. Three stations of chambers provide precise trackinginformation in the range |!| < 2.7, and triggers for high mo-mentum muons in the range |!| < 2.4. The transverse energyET is defined to be Esin", where E is the energy associatedwith a calorimeter cell or energy cluster. Similarly, pT is themomentum component transverse to the beam line.
3. Collision data and simulated samples
3.1. Collision dataThe analysis presented here is performed on data from pp
collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV recorded by AT-LAS in 2010 in stable beams periods and uses data selectedfor good detector performance. The events were selected on-line by requiring at least one electron or muon with high trans-verse momentum, pT. The trigger thresholds evolved withtime to keep up with the increasing instantaneous luminositydelivered by the LHC. The highest thresholds applied in thelast data taking period were ET > 15 GeV for electrons andpT > 13 GeV for muons. The integrated luminosity after beam,detector and data-quality requirements is 36.2 pb!1(35.5 pb!1)
