Latest Constraints from Jet Measurements on Parton Distribution Functions and on the Strong Coupling Constant

Abstract

Recent measurements of jet cross sections at HERA, the Tevatron and the LHC that provide constraints on parton distribution functions and allow for determinations of the strong coupling constant are presented.
