Correlated theoretical uncertainties for the one-jet inclusive cross section

Abstract

We discuss the correlated systematic theoretical uncertainties that may be ascribed to the next-to-leading order QCD theory used to predict the one-jet inclusive cross section in hadron collisions. We estimate the magnitude of these errors as functions of the jet transverse momentum and rapidity. The total theoretical error is decomposed into a set of functions of transverse momentum and rapidity that give a model for statistically independent contributions to the error. This representation can be used to include the systematic theoretical errors in fits to the experimental data.
