Next-to-Next-to Leading Order QCD Predictions for Single Jet Inclusive Production at the LHC

Currie, J.; Glover, E. W. N.; Pires, J.

Abstract

We report the first calculation of fully differential jet production at leading color in all partonic channels at next-to-next-to leading order in perturbative QCD and compare to the available ATLAS 7 TeV data. We discuss the size and shape of the perturbative corrections along with their associated scale variation across a wide range in jet transverse momentum, p T , and rapidity, y . We find significant effects, especially at low p T , and discuss the possible implications for parton distribution function fits.
