Abstract

Inclusive jet cross sections in

Z / γ^{*}

events, with

Z / γ^{*}

decaying into an electron-positron pair, are measured as a function of jet transverse momentum and jet multiplicity in

p \bar{p}

collisions at

\sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV

with the upgraded Collider Detector at Fermilab in run II, based on an integrated luminosity of

1.7 f b^{- 1}

. The measurements cover the rapidity region

| y^{jet} | < 2.1

and the transverse momentum range

p_{T}^{jet} > 30 GeV / c

. Next-to-leading order perturbative QCD predictions are in good agreement with the measured cross sections.
