These processes represent the production of a Z boson and a single jet, where the Z subsequently decays either into electrons (nproc=41), neutrinos (nproc=42) or bottom quarks (nproc=43). Where appropriate, the effect of a virtual photon is also included. The calculation may be performed at LO and NLO and NNLO[1] although the NLO, (NNLO) calculation of process 43 does not include radiation from the bottom quarks. The one-loop virtual amplitudes are taken from the appendix IV of ref. [2].
When removebr is true in process 41, the Z boson does not decay.
nplotter_Zjets.f is the default plotting routine.
