Description
In this talk, I will present some recent calculations of the inclusive jet transverse momentum spectrum at the LHC, performed at next-to-next-to-leading order and including resummation of logarithms of the jet radius $R$ at next-to-next-to-leading-logarithmic accuracy. Estimates of missing-higher-order uncertainties obtained from scale variations are notoriously unreliable for inclusive jet production at the LHC. I will show how the method of theory nuisance parameters can be used to obtain robust theory uncertainties for this process, and demonstrate that such uncertainties paint a much more consistent picture than scale uncertainties, in light of the new NNLO+NNLL results.
