W+jets as a background to top physics: the quest for many jets

Abstract

The latest progress in calculating electroweak gauge boson production in association with QCD jets at hadron colliders is summarized. Particular emphasis is given to the recently completed QCD one-loop calculations of W+3jets and Wb final states. Furthermore recent developments in improving Monte Carlo event generators by means of combining tree-level matrix elements with parton showers is reviewed.Comment: Talk given at Top 2010, Bruges, Belgium, May 31 - June 4, 201
