Jet production cross-section and jet properties in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$= 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector

Jet cross sections have been measured in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV using the ATLAS detector. The measurement uses an integrated luminosity of 17 nb(-1) recorded at the Large Hadron Collider. The anti-k(t) algorithm is used to identify jets with a jet resolution parameter R = 0.6. The dominant uncertainty comes from the jet energy scale, which is determined to within 7\% for central jets above 60 GeV transverse momentum. Inclusive single-jet differential cross sections are presented as functions of jet transverse momentum and rapidity. The results are compared to expectations based on next-to-leading-order QCD, which agree with the data, providing a validation of the theory in a new kinematic regime.
