Analysis strategy Detector level Data distributions (as already seen) Unfolding: Efficiencies, resonse, trigger, accetance Particle level (ublic results) Non QCD effects: Hadronisation, underlying event, QED FSR + hase sace Parton level BLACKHA+SHERPA+ (W analysis only) MCFM NLO for W+<= ; LO for W+4 ALPGEN, SHERPA normalised to FEWZ NNLO
Unfolding from detector to article level Bin by bin unfolding Simle correction factor mechanism. Systematics uncertainty : difference ALPGEN and SHERPA derived corrections Bayesian unfolding Lower MC deendence, better statistical treatment Results in large fluctuations when comuting systematics in bins with low statistics Agreement of results between the two methods and highly diagonal conditional migration matrices give us confidence in the bin by bin method

Conclusions Detailed study at W+ and Z+ associated roduction Inclusive and differential cross sections Ratios of cross sections First comarison with W+ at NLO (Blackhat + Shera) Data unfolded to article level agrees well with NLO and LO ME+PS redictions from MCFM, Algen, and Shera Pythia is not exected to be accurate for events with more than one by construction Accuracy of the measurement is already systematically limited by uncertainties on energy scale
