Abstract/Summary:
Differential jet cross sections have been measured in charged current deep inelastic e±p scattering at high boson virtualities Q2 with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 0.36 fb -1. Jets were identified using the kT cluster algorithm in the longitudinally invariant inclusive mode. Polarized and unpolarized-corrected cross sections are presented for inclusive-jet production as functions of Q2, Bjorken x and the jet transverse energy and pseudorapidity. The dijet invariant mass cross section is also presented. Observation of three-jet events in charged-current processes is reported for the first time. The predictions of leading-logarithm parton-shower Monte Carlo models and next-to-leading-order QCD calculations are compared to the measurements.
