| dc.description | Inclusive jet production, e<sup>+</sup>e<sup>−</sup> → e<sup>+</sup>e<sup>−</sup> jet X, is studied using 560 pb<sup>−1</sup> of data collected at LEP with the L3 detector at centre-of-mass energies between 189 and 209 GeV. The inclusive differential cross section is measured using a <i>k<sub>t</sub></i> jet algorithm as a function of the jet transverse momentum, <i>p<sub>t</sub></i>, in the range 3 < <i>p<sub>t</sub></i> < 50 GeV for a pseudorapidity, η, in the range −1 <η< 1. This cross section is well represented by a power law. For high <i>p<sub>t</sub></i> , the measured cross section is significantly higher than the NLO QCD predictions, as already observed for inclusive π<sup>±</sup> and π<sup>0</sup> production. | |
