Differential cross section measurements of W bosons produced in association with jets and heavy flavor quarks in proton-proton collisions at center-ofmass energies of 8TeV and 13TeV in the CMS experiment at the LHC are presented. The measurements are compared to higher-order calculations and event simulations that devise matrix element calculations interfaced with parton showers.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess[Keyword Not Available]Article4052-s2.0-85038939009Q4WOS:00042395970002810.1393/ncc/i2017-17186-2
