Measurement of the ratio of the inclusive 3-jet cross section to the inclusive 2-jet cross section in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV and first determination of the strong coupling constant in the TeV range

A measurement is presented of the ratio of the inclusive 3-jet cross section to the inclusive 2-jet cross section as a function of the average transverse momentum, ⟨p[subscript T1,2]⟩, of the two leading jets in the event. The data sample was collected during 2011 at a proton-proton centre-of-mass e...
