Hard QCD Results with Jets at the LHC

Abstract

Hard QCD results in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV with jets from data recorded up to the end of 2010 by the CMS and ATLAS experiments at the LHC are reported. Inclusive jet and di-jet cross section measurements as well as observables sensitive to multi-jet activity are shown and compared to simulations based on leading log parton showers as well as NLO QCD predictions. Novel approaches to identify highly boosted massive final states by exploiting the jet substructure are tested on the dominant QCD background.
