Hadronic Three Jet Production at Next-to-Leading Order

Abstract

I present results of a next-to-leading order calculation of three jet production at hadron colliders. This calculation will have many applications. In addition to computing three-jet observables (spectra, mass distributions), this calculation permits the first next-to-leading order studies (at hadron colliders) of jet and event shape variables.
