Three-Jet Cross Sections in Hadron-Hadron Collisions at Next-To-Leading Order
Three-Jet Cross Sections in Hadron-Hadron Collisions at Next-To-Leading Order
We present a new QCD-event generator for hadron colliders which can calculate one-, two-, and three-jet cross sections at next-to-leading order accuracy. We study the transverse energy spectrum of three-jet hadronic events using the k(radially) algorithm. We show that the next-to-leading order correction significantly reduces the renormalization and factorization scale …
