Abstract

Jet production in high energy hadron-hadron collisions can serve as a probe for new physics. I review recent data from CDF and D0 on the high ET jet cross section. Reporting on recent work of the CTEQ collaboration, I argue that the apparent excess seen in the CDF data may be due to the gluon distribution function used in the theoretical calculation being too small at large x. I discuss data on the dijet angular distribution, which shows no sign of a new physics signal.
