| Abstract: A measurement of the double-differential inclusive jet cross section as a function of the jet transverse momentum $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ and the absolute jet rapidity $|y|$ is presented. Data from LHC proton-proton collisions at $ \sqrt{s} = $ 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb$^{-1}$, have been collected with the CMS detector. Jets are reconstructed using the anti-$k_{\mathrm{T}}$ clustering algorithm with a size parameter of 0.7 in a phase space region covering jet $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ from 74 GeV up to 2.5 TeV and jet absolute rapidity up to $|y|= $ 3.0. The low-$p_{\mathrm{T}}$ jet range between 21 and 74 GeV is also studied up to $|y|= $ 4.7, using a dedicated data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.6 pb$^{-1}$. The measured jet cross section is corrected for detector effects and compared with the predictions from perturbative QCD at next-to-leading order (NLO) using various sets of parton distribution functions (PDF). Cross section ratios to the corresponding measurements performed at 2.76 and 7 TeV are presented. From the measured double-differential jet cross section, the value of the strong coupling constant evaluated at the Z mass is $\alpha_\mathrm{S}(M_{\mathrm{ Z }}) = 0.1164^{+0.0060}_{-0.0043}$, where the errors include the PDF, scale, nonperturbative effects and experimental uncertainties, using the CT10 NLO PDFs. Improved constraints on PDFs based on the inclusive jet cross section measurement are presented. | ||

| Summary |
| A measurement of the double-differential inclusive jet cross section has been presented that uses data from proton-proton collisions at $ \sqrt{s} = $ 8 TeV collected with the CMS detector and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb$^{-1}$. The result is presented as a function of jet transverse momentum $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ and absolute rapidity $|y|$ and covers a large range in jet $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ from 74 GeV up to 2.5 TeV, in six rapidity bins up to $|y|= $ 3.0. The region of low jet $p_{\mathrm{T}}$, in particular the range from 21 to 74 GeV, has also been studied up to $|y|= $ 4.7, by using a dedicated low-pileup 5.6 pb$^{-1}$ data sample. The ratios to the cross sections measured at 2.76 and 7 TeV have been also determined. Detailed studies of experimental and theoretical sources of uncertainty have been carried out. The dominant sources of experimental systematic uncertainty are due to the jet energy scale, unfolding, and the integrated luminosity measurement. These lead to uncertainties of 5-45% in the differential cross section measurement. The theoretical predictions are most affected by PDF uncertainties, and their range is strongly dependent on the $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ and rapidity interval; at low $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ they are about 7%, but their size increases up to 40% in the most central intervals and exceeds 200% in the outermost regions. Many uncertainties cancel in the ratio with the corresponding results at 2.76 and 7 TeV, leading to uncertainties ranging from 5% to 25%, both for the measurement and for the theoretical predictions. Perturbative QCD, supplemented by a small nonperturbative and electroweak corrections, describes the data over a wide range of jet $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ and $y$. The strong coupling constant is extracted from the high-$p_{\mathrm{T}}$ jet cross section measurements using the probed $p_{\mathrm{T}}$ range and six different rapidity bins. The best fitted value is $\alpha_\mathrm{S}(M_{\mathrm{Z}}) = 0.1164^{+0.0060}_{-0.0043}$ using the CT10 NLO PDF set. The running of the strong coupling constant as a function of the energy scale $Q$, ${\alpha_\mathrm{S}(Q)} $, measured for nine different values of energy scale between 86 GeV and 1.5 TeV, is in good agreement with previous experiments and extends the measurement to the highest values of the energy scale. This measurement of the double-differential jet cross section probes hadronic parton-parton interaction over a wide range of $x$ and $Q$. The QCD analysis of these data together with HERA DIS measurements illustrates the potential of the high-$p_{\mathrm{T}}$ jet cross sections to provide important constraints on the gluon PDF in a new kinematic regime. |
