Abstract:We analyze the order α 2 s corrections to the single inclusive jet and hadron cross sections in lepton-nucleon deep inelastic scattering. The full calculations are done analytically, obtaining finite NLO partonic level cross sections for these processes. We show that in both cases the dominant partonic mechanism starts at order α 2 s , being effectively a lowest order estimate, with the consequent large factorization scale uncertainty, and the likelihood of non-negligible corrections at the subsequent order in… Show more
