This contribution reports on preliminary measurements of the inclusive jet production cross section in p{bar p} collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV using data collected with CDF corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 385 pb−1. Two analyzes are presented: one uses the longitudinally invariant k{sub T} algorithm to reconstruct the jets, the other uses the midpoint algorithm. Both are limited to jets with rapidity in the range 0.1
The CDF Collaboration has measured the inclusive jet cross section using 1992-93 collider data at 1.8 TeV. The CDF measurement is in very good agreement with NLO QCD predictions for transverse energies (E{sub T}) below 200 GeV. However, it is systematically higher than NLO QCD predictions for E{sub T} above 200 GeV.
The status of the CDF inclusive jet cross section measurement from the 1992--1993 run of the Fermilab Tevatron is described. The E{sub T} range of the jets extends from 15 to 420 GeV. Corrections are made to the measured cross section to obtain a true transverse energy spectrum. The corrected cross section is compared with next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD calculations and to the 1989 CDF data.

The CDF results on the inclusive jet cross section at (square root){ital s} = 1800 GeV are presented. The corrected cross section is compared with NLO QCD calculations.
The inclusive jet cross section and jet shapes at √s = 1.8 TeV have been measured by CDF at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. results are compared to recent next-to-leading order QCD calculations, which predict variation of the cross section with cone size, as well as variation of the jet shape with energy. A lower limit on the parameter [Lambda]{sub c}, which characterize a contact interaction associated with quark sub-structure is determined to be 1400 GeV at the 95% confidence level. 3 refs., 4 figs.
The CDF collaboration collected 19.5 pb−1 of data during the 1992--93 collider run at Fermilab. Using these data the inclusive jet cross section is measured in the pseudorapidity ([eta]) range 0.1--0.7. The transverse energy (E{sub T}) range of the jets extends from 15 to 440 GeV. The measured cross section is compared with next-to-leading order ([Omicron]([alpha]{sub s}3)) QCD predictions for various parton distributions and different choices of renormalization scale. A new limit on [Lambda]{sub c}, a term representing quark substructure, is derived. The two-jet differential cross section is measured by determining the E{sub T} spectrum of central jets (0.1
A measurement is presented of the inclusive jet cross section using the Midpoint jet clustering algorithm in five different rapidity regions. This is the first analysis which measures the inclusive jet cross section using the Midpoint algorithm in the forward region of the detector. The measurement is based on more than 1 fb{sup -1} of integrated luminosity of Run II data taken by the CDF experiment at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. The results are consistent with the predictions of perturbative quantum chromodynamics.
Tests of the current understanding of physics at the highest energies achievable in man-made experiments are performed at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. In the theory of the strong force within the Standard Model of particle physics - Quantum ChromoDynamics or QCD - confined quarks and gluons from the proton-proton scattering manifest themselves as groups of collimated particles. These particles are clustered into physically measurable objects called hadronic jets. As jets are widely produced at hadron colliders, they are the key physics objects for an early "rediscovery of QCD". This thesis presents the first jet measurement from the ATLAS Collaboration at the LHC and confronts the experimental challenges of precision measurements. Inclusive jet cross section data are then used to improve the knowledge of the momentum distribution of quarks and gluons within the proton and of the magnitude of the strong force.
