Differential cross section measurements of vector bosons produced in association with jets and heavy flavour quarks in proton-proton collisions at center of mass energies of 8 TeV and 13 TeV in the CMS experiment at the LHC are presented. The measurements are compared to next-to-leading order calculations and event simulations that devise matrix element calculations interfaced with parton showers.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess[Keyword Not Available]Conference Object1292-s2.0-85006152252WOS:00039227090000210.1051/epjconf/201612900002
