Description

A measurement of the differential 2+1 jet rate in deep inelastic scattering at HERA in the kinematic range Q2>200 GeV2 is presented. The jets are found using the JADE jet algorithm. Jet distributions measured with the H1 detector are compared to QCD model expectations. The differential 2+1 jet rate is unfolded to remove hadronization and detector effects, and is compared to next-to-leading order QCD calculations. The value of the strong coupling constant αs is extracted, and contributions to its systematic error are discussed
