Jets and Measurements of alpha-s

Abstract

A survey is presented of recent measurements in jet physics, and improved determinations of the QCD coupling constant alpha_s that these have made possible.

10 pages including 15 figures. To appear in the proceedings of 2008 Ringberg Workshop on New Trends in HERA Physics
