Measurement of the inclusive jet cross-section in $p arp$ collisions at $s^91/2)$ =1.96-TeV

Abstract

We report on a measurement of the inclusive jet cross section in $p bar{p}$ collisions at a center-of-mass energy $sqrt s=$1.96 TeV using data collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 0.70 fb$^{-1}$. The data cover jet transverse momenta from 50 GeV to 600 GeV and jet rapidities in the range -2.4 to 2.4. Detailed studies of correlations between systematic uncertainties in transverse momentum and rapidity are presented, and the cross section measurements are found to be in good agreement with next-to-leading order QCD calculations.
