Abstract
Jet production in charged and neutral current events in the
kinematic range of Q2 from 640 to 35 000 GeV2
is studied in deep-inelastic positron-proton scattering at HERA. The
measured rate of multi-jet events and distributions of jet polar angle,
transverse energy, dijet mass, and other dijet variables are presented.
Using parton densities derived from inclusive DIS cross sections,
perturbative QCD calculations in NLO are found to give a consistent
description of both the neutral and charged current dijet production.
A direct, model independent comparison of the jet distributions in
charged and neutral current events
confirms that the QCD dynamics of the hadronic final state is
independent of the underlying electroweak scattering process.
