Sumario:At the Large Hadron Collider, measurements of jet production cross sections are important tests of the Standard Model in a new unexplored energy region. In addition, the study of jets is of great relevance to searches for new particles and new interactions as Standard Model processes often represent a significant background. In this work, results on the inclusive, di-jet, multi-jet and vector boson+jet cross sections are presented. The properties of events with jets are discussed, such as multi-jet topologies and kinematic distributions for $b \bar{b}$ production in association with a Z boson. Overall the theoretical distributions are able to model most distributions but tensions exist in several places.
