Phys. Rev. D 61, 094003 (2000) [4 pages]Factorization scheme dependence of the NLO inclusive jet cross sectionReceived 15 December 1999; published 31 March 2000 We study the factorization scheme dependence of the next-to-leading order inclusive one jet cross section dσ/dET. The scheme is varied parametrically along the direction that transforms the MS̅ scheme to the DIS scheme: we introduce a parameter λ such that λ=0 is MS̅ and λ=1 is DIS. The factorization scale μ is also varied. We observe a change of ±9% in the cross section for ET=50 GeV when μ and λ are varied in the range -2<~λ<~2, ET/8<~μ<~2ET. This grows to ±32% for ET=400 GeV. © 2000 The American Physical Society URL:
