A measurement of multi-jet rates in deep-inelastic scattering at HERA

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

Multi-jet production is observed in deep-inelastic electron proton scattering with the H1 detector at HERA. Jet rates for momentum transfers squared up to 500 GeV2 are determined using the JADE jet clustering algorithm. They are found to be in agreement with predictions from QCD based models.
