Measurement of the Inclusive Jet Cross-Section in Proton-Proton Collisions at √s̅ = 7 TeV using 4.5 fb⁻¹ of Data with the ATLAS Detector

item.page.doi

Abstract

The inclusive jet cross-section is measured in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.5 fb⁻¹ collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider in 2011. Jets are identified using the anti-kT algorithm with radius parameter values of 0.4 and 0.6. The double-differential cross-sections are presented as a function of the jet transverse momentum and the jet rapidity, covering jet transverse momenta from 100 GeV to 2 TeV. Next-to-leading-order QCD calculations corrected for non-perturbative effects and electroweak effects, as well as Monte Carlo simulations with next-to-leading-order matrix elements interfaced to parton showering, are compared to the measured cross-sections. A quantitative comparison of the measured cross-sections to the QCD calcula tions using several sets of parton distribution functions is performed.
