Measurement of the inclusive jet cross section inpp¯interactions ats=1.96TeVusing a cone-based jet algorithm

We present a measurement of the inclusive jet cross section in $p\overline{p}$ interactions at $\sqrt{s}=1.96\mathrm{TeV}$ using $385{\mathrm{pb}}^{-1}$ of data collected with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. The results are obtained using an improved cone-based jet algorithm (Midpoint). The data cover the jet transverse momentum range from 61 to $620\mathrm{GeV}/c$, extending the reach by almost $150\mathrm{GeV}/c$ compared with previous measurements at the Tevatron. The results are in good agreement with next-to-leading order perturbative QCD predictions using the CTEQ6.1M parton distribution functions.
