Description
Jet cross-section ratios between inclusive bins of jet multiplicity are measured differentially in variables that are sensitive to either the energy-scale or angular distribution of hadronic energy flow in the final state. Several improvements to the calibration of jets are described, which result in significant improvements in the overall jet energy scale uncertainty. The measurements are compared to state-of-the-art NLO and NNLO predictions, and used to determine the strong-coupling constant at the reference scale of the Z-boson mass and its running up to high energies.
