Inclusive Jet Cross-section measurement at CDF

TL;DR

This paper reports on the measurement of inclusive jet production cross sections in proton-antiproton collisions at 1.96 TeV using CDF data, comparing results with theoretical QCD predictions across various jet kinematic ranges.

Contribution

It provides the first detailed measurement of inclusive jet cross sections at this energy with the k_T algorithm, testing perturbative QCD in a new regime.

Findings

Measured cross sections agree with NLO QCD predictions within uncertainties.

Extended the kinematic range of jet measurements at Tevatron energies.

Validated the use of the k_T algorithm for jet reconstruction in hadron collider experiments.

Abstract

Results on inclusive jet production in proton-antiproton collisions at sqrt(s) =1.96 TeV based on 1 fb-1 of CDF Run II data are presented. Measurements are preformed using the k_T algorithm in a wide range of jet transverse momentum and jet rapidity. The measured cross sections are compared to next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations.
