%0 Journal Article %T Measurement of the W + jet cross section at CDF %A Messina %A Andrea %J Brazilian Journal of Physics %D 2007 %I Scientific Electronic Library Online %R 10.1590/S0103-97332007000500043 %X a measurement of w £¿ en + n-jet cross sections in p$\bar{p}$ collisions at £¿s = 1.96 tev using the collider detector at fermilab in run ii is presented. the measurement is based on an integrated luminosity of 320 pb-1, and includes events with jet multiplicity from > 1 to > 4. in each jet multiplicity sample the differential and cumulative cross sections with respect to the transverse energy of the nth-leading jet are measured. for w+ > 2 jets the differential cross section with respect to the 2-leading jets invariant mass mj1j2 and angular separation drj1j2 is also reported. the data are compared to predictions from monte carlo simulations. %K qcd %K jet %K collider physics %K tevatron. %U http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S0103-97332007000500043&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
