Abstract
Events containing W or Z bosons with accompanying jets are important channels to test the Standard Model. These proceedings discuss W/Z+Jets production cross section measurements and their use to understand the detectors and their performances after the LHC start-up. At the same time, these processes are a major source of background to new physics searches, such as SUSY. Methods, mostly data-driven, to identify these events as signals and backgrounds to searches will be presented.
