### Measurements of vector boson production in association with jets at the LHC using the ATLAS detector

Abstract:

This thesis presents measurements of the cross section for the production of a W boson in association with jets and the ratio of the cross sections for the production of a W boson and a Z boson in association with jets. Both measurements are performed in proton-proton collisions at √s = 7 TeV with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.6 fb-1. The dataset allows for the exploration of a l...
