Abstract
The cross section for jets from quarks produced with a boson has been measured in collision data from of integrated luminosity recorded by the CDF II detector at the Tevatron. The -jets process poses a significant background in measurements of top quark production and prominent searches for the Higgs boson. We measure a -jet cross section of in association with a single flavor of leptonic boson decay over a limited kinematic phase space. This measured result cannot be accommodated in several available theoretical predictions.
