Comparison of CDF and D0 Inclusive Jet Cross-sections

Abstract

The recently reported CDF and D0 inclusive jet cross-sections are compared, using a uniform theoretical NLO QCD calculation to account for the different kinematic coverages of the pseudo-rapidity variable in the two experiments. The two data sets are found to be in good agreement. With a 2-3\% relative overall normalization adjustment, the data sets appear to agree over the entire $E_t$ range, even without taking into account the other systematic errors.
