Hadronic jet production at the CERN proton-antiproton collider

Abstract We present a detailed study of hadronic jets obtained in a data sample taken in the UA1 detector with a localized transverse energy trigger. We discuss the average shape of jets in terms of energy and charged particle content, and compare this to data generated in Monte Carlo programs. We further extend the previously reported inclusive jet cross section to the region of E T = 100 GeV. A comparison with theoretical models of cross sections for events with more than two jets is also given.
