Precision Z boson phenomenology at the LHC

In this thesis the Next-to-Next-to-Leading Order (NNLO) perturbative QCD corrections to Z boson production in association with hard QCD radiation are considered, both where the hard QCD radiation forms an observable jet and where no jet definition is required. The Infrared (IR) divergences are regul...
