The inclusive jet cross section in ppbar collisions at √s = 1.8 tev using the kt algorithm

Description

We present a preliminary measurement of the central inclusive jet cross section using a successive combination algorithm based on relative transverse momenta (k(perpendicular)) for jet reconstruction. We analyze a 87.3 pb-1 data sample collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron ppbar Collider during 1994-1995. The cross section, reported as a function of transverse momentum (pT > 60 GeV) in the central region of pseudo-rapidity (|η| < 0.5), is in reasonable agreement with next-to-leading order QCD predictions. This is the first jet production measurement in a hadron collider using a successive combination type of jet algorithm
