Measurement of the production cross section of jets in association with a Z boson in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector

CERN-LHC. Measurements of cross sections for the production of jets in association with a Z0 boson in proton-proton collisions at a centre of mass energy of 7 TeV. The 2011 data sample used has an integrated luminosity of 4.6 fb^{-1}. Inclusive cross sections for Z0 decaying into either electron or muon pairs with jets of transverse momentum above 30 GeV and |rapidity| less than 4.4 are presented along with a detailed breakdown of the systematic errors in the measurements. Data are given here for the individual electron and muon channels as well as for the combined data as shown in the paper. The combined cross section has been extrapolated to the common phase space |eta|<2.5 and pT>20 GeV, similar to the 2010 analysis.

Note added (25 JUN 2014): The cross section values reported in Tables 1,3,5,7,9-13,15-28 below should be multiplied by a factor of 1.0141 to take into account the updated value of the integrated luminosity for the ATLAS 2011 data taking period. The uncertainty on the global normalisation ("Lumi") remains at 1.8%. See Eur.Phys.J. C73 (2013) 2518 for more details

Note added (8 MAY 2015): The entries for Z->mumu final state in table 2, 4, 6 were shifted by one row. This mistake has been corrected.
