Abstract

We report on measurements of the inclusive jet production cross section as a function of the jet transverse momentum in $p\overline{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.96\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{TeV}$, using the ${k}_{\mathrm{T}}$ algorithm and a data sample corresponding to $1.0\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fb}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ collected with the Collider Detector at Fermilab in run II. The measurements are carried out in five different jet rapidity regions with $|{y}^{\mathrm{jet}}|&lt;2.1$ and transverse momentum in the range $54&lt;{p}_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{jet}}&lt;700\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}/c$. Next-to-leading order perturbative QCD predictions are in good agreement with the measured cross sections.
