Abstract.
The production rates and substructure of jets have been studied in charged current deep inelastic e + p scattering for Q 2 > 200 GeV2 with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 110.5 pb-1. Inclusive jet cross sections are presented for jets with transverse energies \(E_T^{\rm jet} > 14\) GeV and pseudorapidities in the range \(-1 < \eta^{\rm jet} < 2\). Dijet cross sections are presented for events with a jet having \(E_T^{\rm jet} > 14\) GeV and a second jet having \(E_T^{\rm jet} > 5\) GeV. Measurements of the mean subjet multiplicity, \(\langle n_{\rm sbj}\rangle\), of the inclusive jet sample are presented. Predictions based on parton-shower Monte Carlo models and next-to-leading-order QCD calculations are compared to the measurements. The value of \(\alpha_s(M_Z)\), determined from \(\langle n_{\rm sbj}\rangle\) at \(y_{\rm cut} = 10^{-2}\) for jets with \(25 < E_T^{\rm jet} < 119\) GeV, is \(\alpha_s(M_Z) = 0.1202 \pm 0.0052 ({\rm stat.}) ^{ + 0.0060}_{-0.0019} ({\rm syst.}) ^{ + 0.0065}_{-0.0053} ({\rm th.})\). The mean subjet multiplicity as a function of Q 2 is found to be consistent with that measured in NC DIS.
