Measurement of the inclusive jet cross section using the kT algorithm in pp¯ collisions at s=1.96TeV with the CDF II detector

Abstract
We report on measurements of the inclusive jet production cross section as a function of the jet transverse momentum in pp¯ collisions at s=1.96TeV, using the kT algorithm and a data sample corresponding to 1.0fb1 collected with the Collider Detector at Fermilab in run II. The measurements are carried out in five different jet rapidity regions with |yjet|<2.1 and transverse momentum in the range 54<pTjet<700GeV/c. Next-to-leading order perturbative QCD predictions are in good agreement with the measured cross sections.
