Description
The associated production of vector bosons V (W, Z or gamma) and jets originating from heavy-flavour (c or b) quarks is a dominant background for many SM and Higgs boson measurements and new physics searches beyond the SM. The study of events with a vector boson accompanied by heavy-flavour jets is crucial to test the theoretical predictions in perturbative QCD up to NNLO, and provides a key tool for Monte Carlo generators. Newest 13 TeV differential cross sections of V+ c/b jets are measured as a function of several kinematic observables with the CMS detector at 8 and 13 TeV will be presented, with special attention on pQCD and EW aspects of their production, PDF constraints and modelling of the heavy flavour content of the proton.
