Precise Predictions for W+3 Jet Production at Hadron Colliders

We report on the first next-to-leading order QCD computation of W+3-jet production in hadronic collisions including all partonic subprocesses. We compare the results with data from the Tevatron and find excellent agreement. The required one-loop matrix elements are computed using on-shell methods, i...
