The associated production of W and Z bosons with hadronic jets is one one of the most important background processes at the LHC but poses a challenge to generator modelling, in particular for energetic processes, due to higher pQCD and Electroweak corrections. The seminar presents recent measurements of the V+jets cross sections for high-energetic events and compares with state-of-the-art generator modelling and fixed-order calculations.
