      abstract     = {A measurement of the differential cross-section of $pp
                      \rightarrow Z/\gamma^{*}(\rightarrow e^{+}e^{-})$~+~jet
                      production and a study of the jet quark-gluon decomposition
                      are presented. The data of 21.3 $\mathrm{fb^{-1}}$ collected
                      with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider in 2012
                      at the centre-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s} = 8$~TeV are used.The
                      double-differential $pp \rightarrow Z/\gamma^{*}(\rightarrow
                      e^{+}e^{-})$~+~jet cross-section is measured as a function
                      of the absolute rapidity and the transverse momentum of
                      jets. The jet quark-gluon decomposition study is performed
                      in bins of the transverse momentum and the absolute rapidity
                      of the highest-$p_{T}$ jet. The possibility to distinguish
                      between quark-initiated and gluon-initiated jets is
                      especially important for beyond Standard Mode searches,
                      where a lot of signal processes have quarks in the final
                      states, while background processes in Quantum Chromodynamic
                      have mostly gluons. The performance of the discrimination
                      between these two types of jets using different jet
                      properties is studied using data-driven techniques with
                      purified quark-like and gluon-like jet samples. The $pp
                      \rightarrow Z/\gamma^{*}(\rightarrow e^{+}e^{-})$~+~jet
                      production provides an important test of perturbative
                      Quantum Chromodynamics and is an important background for
                      many Standard Model processes and beyond Standard Model
                      searches. In addition, the measurement of the $pp
                      \rightarrow Z/\gamma^{*}(\rightarrow e^{+}e^{-})$~+~jet
                      cross section as a function of the absolute rapidity and the
                      transverse momentum of inclusive jets provides constraints
                      on the uncertainties on the parton distribution functions.
                      The rapidity of jets provides the information on the
                      fraction of the initial proton’s momentum carried by the
                      interacting partons, which provides the sensitivity to the
                      parton distribution functions, while the transverse momentum
                      of jets allows to probe different transfer momentum
                      scales.The measured cross-section is compared to the
                      predictions from Monte Carlo generators based on leading
                      order matrix elements and supplemented by parton showers,
                      where the predictions are normalised to the inclusive $pp
                      \rightarrow Z/\gamma^{*}\rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}$
                      cross-section calculated at the next-to-next-to-leading
                      order. The predictions are in a good agreement with the
                      measured cross-section within the uncertainty on the
                      measurement, except particular absolute rapidity and
                      transverse momentum regions.},
