Abstract

Inclusive jet differential cross sections have been measured in neutral current deep inelastic scattering e+p collisions for photon virtualities Q2 > 125 GeV2 with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 65 pb−1. Jets were identified in the Breit frame using the longitudinally invariant kT‐cluster algorithm. Measurements of differential inclusive jet cross sections are presented as a function of jet transverse energy, ETB(jet), jet pseudorapidity, ηB, and Q2, for jets with ETB(jet) > 8 GeV. Next‐to‐leading‐order (NLO) QCD calculations describe well the measurements. An NLO QCD analysis of the differential cross sections allows a precise determination of αs(MZ).
