Abstract

We report on measurements of the inclusive jet production cross section as a function of the jet transverse momentum in $p \bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV$ , using the $k_{T}$ algorithm and a data sample corresponding to $1.0 {fb}^{- 1}$ collected with the Collider Detector at Fermilab in run II. The measurements are carried out in five different jet rapidity regions with $| y^{jet} | < 2.1$ and transverse momentum in the range $54 < p_{T}^{jet} < 700 GeV / c$ . Next-to-leading order perturbative QCD predictions are in good agreement with the measured cross sections.
