45 f(-p₁) + f(-p₂) → Z(→ e^-(p₃) + e⁺(p₄)) + f(p₅) + f(p₆) + f(p₇)

45.1 Z + 3 jets production, processes 45, 47

These processes represent the production of a Z boson and 3 jets, including also the effect of a virtual photon when the Z decays to electrons (nproc=45), but not when it decays to neutrinos. The Z∕γ^* decays to an e⁺e^- pair (nproc=45) or into three species of neutrino (nproc=47). The calculation may be performed at LO only.

When removebr is true, the Z boson does not decay.

45.2 Plotter

nplotter_Zjets.f is the default plotting routine.
