Jet production in charged current deep inelastic e+p scattering at HERA
Abstract
The production rates and substructure of jets have been studied in charged current deep inelastic e+p scattering for Q**2>200 GeV**2 with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 110.5 pb**-1. Inclusive jet cross sections are presented for jets with transverse energies ET(jet) > 14 GeV and pseudorapidities in the range -1 < eta(jet) < 2. Dijet cross sections are presented for events with a jet having ET(jet) > 14 GeV and a second jet having ET(jet) > 5 GeV. Measurements of the mean subjet multiplicity, <nsbj>, of the inclusive jet sample are presented. Predictions based on parton-shower Monte Carlo models and next-to-leading-order QCD calculations a re compared to the measurements. The value of alphas(MZ), determined from <nsbj> at ycut=0.01 for jets with 25<ET(jet)<119 GeV, is alphas(MZ) = 0.1202 +-0.0052 (stat.) +0.0060-0.0019 (syst.) +0.0065-0.0053 (th.). The mean subjet multiplicity as a function of Q**2 is found to be consistent with that measured in NC DIS.
