data are in good agreement with the theoretical predictions. The experimental uncertainty, dominated by the jet energy scale uncertainty, is comparable to the theoretical uncertainty which is dominated by the PDF uncertainty.

## B. Measurement using the k$_{T}$ Clustering Algorithm 

The k$_{T}$ clustering algorithm, which combines objects in pairs to reconstruct a jet, is infra- red and collinear safe at all orders in perturbation theory and is preferred over iterative cone algorithms. The CDF collaboration has measured [47] the inclusive jet cross section using the k$_{T}$ clustering algorithm with D = 0 . 4 , 0 . 7 , and 1.0 using 1.0 fb − 1 of data in the same rapidity region as used in the cone-based analysis [46]. The analysis procedure is similar to the one described in Section V A 2, except the correction for multiple-interactions which are determined using a novel approach. The measured jet transverse momenta are corrected for this effect by removing a certain amount of transverse momentum, δ mi p T × ( N$_{V}$ − 1) where N$_{V}$ denotes the number of primary vertices in the event. The value of δ mi p T was determined by requiring the shape of the p$_{T}$ spectrum at high instantaneous luminosity ( L $^{inst}$) to be the
