Description

Recent jets results from CMS at a centre of mass energy of 7 and 8 TeV are presented. The comparison with predictions from perturbative QCD at next-to-leading order allow the inference of important theory parameters from these measurements. Particular emphasis is put on the determination of parton distribution functions of the proton and the confirmation of the running and value of the strong coupling constant alpha_S.
