Determination of the strong coupling constant $${\varvec{{\alpha _\mathrm{s} (m_\mathrm{Z})}}}$$ in next-to-next-to-leading order QCD using H1 jet cross section measurements

“…The theoretical uncertainties of the NNLO predictions are substantially reduced compared to those of the NLO predictions. It is observed [11,12,15] that the NNLO predictions and the current experimental data are of comparable precision for large parts of the measured phase space.…”

“…This article presents the first determination of α s (m Z ) making use of the recent calculations of jet production at NNLO [11][12][13][14]. These calculations are also used in this paper for the first time for the determination of PDFs.…”

“…Continuous developments enabled the advancement of these calculations [7][8][9][10], and next-to-next-toleading order (NNLO) predictions for jet production in DIS [11,12] and hadron-hadron collisions [13,14] have become available recently. The theoretical uncertainties of the NNLO predictions are substantially reduced compared to those of the NLO predictions.…”

“…These calculations are also used in this paper for the first time for the determination of PDFs. The jet cross section calculations are performed using the program NNLOJET [11,12,60].…”

Nuclear parton density functions from dijet photoproduction at the EIC

“…In a recent publication, we studied the impact of inclusive jet production measurements in DIS, i.e., of photons with large virtuality Q 2 , at the EIC and reached similar conclusions [21] based on our previous theoretical calculations at NLO [3] and approximate next-to-next-to-leading order (aNNLO) [22]. Full NNLO calculations of inclusive jet [23] and dijet production [24] in DIS are now also available. They confirm the aNNLO results even at surprisingly large distances from the hadronic threshold and show that the NNLO corrections are moderate in size, except at the kinematical edges, and that their inclusion leads to a substantial reduction of the scale variation uncertainty on the predictions.…”
