Three-jet cross sections in hadron-hadron collisions at next-to-leading order

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2011-05-05 v2

Abstract

We present a new QCD event generator for hadron collider which can calculate one-, two- and three-jet cross sections at next-to-leading order accuracy. In this letter we study the transverse energy spectrum of three-jet hadronic events using the kT algorithm. We show that the next-to-leading order correction significantly reduces the renormalization and factorization scale dependence of the three-jet cross section.
