Figure 3: Ratio of three-to-two jet differential cross section as a function of the leading jet pT. The results<br />
are compared to leading or<strong>de</strong>r parton shower Monte Carlo simulations (left) <strong>and</strong> to next-to-leading or<strong>de</strong>r p<strong>QCD</strong><br />
calculations with the MSTW 2008 NLO PDF (right).<br />
pT > 60GeV, of which at least one has pT > 80GeV, is performed by ATLAS with an integrated<br />
luminosity of 2.43pb −1 . Figure 3 (left) presents results for the measurement of the three-to-two<br />
jet inclusive cross section as a function of the pT of the leading jet after unfolding of <strong>de</strong>tector<br />
effects. The systematic uncertainty of this ratio is small (∼ 5%) due to the reduced impact of<br />
the JES uncertainty <strong>and</strong> the cancellation of the uncertainty of the luminosity measurements.<br />
Experimental data are compared with predictions from leading or<strong>de</strong>r Monte Carlo simulations<br />
with parton showers from PYTHIA, ALPGEN+PYTHIA <strong>and</strong> ALPGEN+HERWIG. ALPGEN<br />
generally <strong>de</strong>scribes the data well, whether HERWIG or PYTHIA parton showers are used, while<br />
PYTHIA predicts a larger three jet cross section than what is measured. Figure 3 (right) shows<br />
a comparison of the same experimental results with next-to-leading or<strong>de</strong>r calculations (MSTW<br />
2008 NLO PDF) corrected for non-perturbative effects. The systematic uncertainties on the<br />
theoretical prediction are shown as dotted red lines above <strong>and</strong> below the theoretical prediction.<br />
Good agreement is found between the data <strong>and</strong> the theory prediction within systematic<br />
uncertainties for both studies except in the lowest transverse momentum bin.<br />
