DOE OSTI2013
CERN-LHC. Measurements of cross sections for the production of jets in association with a Z0 boson in proton-proton collisions at a centre of mass energy of 7 TeV. The 2011 data sample used has an integrated luminosity of 4.6 fb^{-1}. Inclusive cross sections for Z0 decaying into either electron or muon pairs with jets of transverse momentum above 30 GeV and |rapidity| less than 4.4 are presented along with a detailed breakdown of the systematic errors in the measurements. Data are given here for the individual electron and muon channels as well as for the combined data as shown in the paper. The combined cross section has been extrapolated to the common phase space |eta|<2.5 and pT>20 GeV, similar to the 2010 analysis.
