Measurement of the inclusive jet cross section inpp¯interactions ats=1.96 TeVusing a cone-based jet algorithm

We present a measurement of the inclusive jet cross section in p (p) over bar interactions at root s>=1.96 TeV using 385 pb(-1) of data collected with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. The results are obtained using an improved cone-based jet algorithm (Midpoint). The data cover the jet transverse momentum range from 61 to 620 GeV/c, extending the reach by almost 150 GeV/c compared with previous measurements at the Tevatron. The results are in good agreement with next-to-leading order perturbative QCD predictions using the CTEQ6.1M parton distribution functions.
