Abstract

The substructure of jets has been studied in terms of the jet shape and subjet multiplicity and these quantities used to tag gluon- and quark-initiated jets. Cross sections are presented for gluon- and quark-tagged jets which exhibit the expected behaviour of the underlying parton dynamics. The value of alphas(MZ) of alphas(MZ) = 0.1176 +- 0.0009 (stat.) +0.0009-0.0026 (exp.) +0.0091-0.0072 (th.) was extracted from the measurements of jet shapes in deep inelastic scattering.
