Measurement of Single Inclusive High eT Jet Cross-Sections in Photoproduction at HERA

J. Turnau

Inclusive jet cross-sections for the reaction e+ p \rightarrow {jet} + X for Q2 < 1GeV2 and photon-proton energies in the interval 95 \leq W \leq 285 GeV have been measured. Jets with transverse energies ETjet > 21 GeV in the pseudorapidity range -1 \leq {\eta }jet \leq 2.5 are searched for using the inclusive kT cluster algorithm in the laboratory frame. Cross-sections as a function of \eta jet and ETjet are compared with NLO QCD calculations using different sets of photon parton density functions as input. The cross-sections are in good agreement with NLO QCD up to the highest measured values of ETjet = 75GeV.
