| Abstract: | Inclusive jet cross sections are measured in photoproduction at HERA using the H1 detector. The data sample of
events in the kinematic range of photon virtualities
and photon-proton centre-of-mass energies
represents an integrated luminosity of
. Jets are defined using the inclusive
algorithm. Single- and multi-differential cross sections are measured as functions of jet transverse energy ET jet and pseudorapidity
in the domain
and
. The cross sections are found to be in good agreement with next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations corrected for fragmentation and underlying event effects. The cross section differential in ET jet, which varies by six orders of magnitude over the measured range, is compared with similar distributions from
colliders at equal and higher energies.Received: 24 February 2003, Revised: 26 May 2003, Published online: 11 July 2003 |
