Description

We present several results on high PT jet production and compare them to the most recent theoretical predictions using the latest parton distribution functions. The dijet invariant mass distribution, triple differential cross section, and dijet angular distribution measurements exhibit very good agreement with the theoretical predictions. The latter agreement obviates the need to invoke compositeness models. At √(s)=630 GeV, the inclusive jet cross section lies 15-20% below the theoretical predictions for both experiments. At √(s)=1800 GeV, the DOe inclusive jet cross section is in agreement with the theoretical predictions over the entire jet ET range, the CDF collaboration observes an excess in the cross section for ET above 200 GeV
