Data-driven QCD background estimation to W production in association with jets using the ATLAS detector

A preliminary analysis was conducted using data from the proton-proton collisions at p s = 8 TeV recorded by the ATLAS experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of approximately 18.9 ƒƅ⁻¹. It has been performed to extract the fraction of QCD events in the chosen phase space for the W bos...
