A precision measurement of jet cross sections in neutral current deep-inelastic scattering for photon virtualities and inelasticities
is presented, using data taken with the H1 detector at HERA, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of
. Double-differential inclusive jet, dijet and trijet cross sections are measured simultaneously and are presented as a function of jet transverse momentum observables and as a function of
. Jet cross sections normalised to the inclusive neutral current DIS cross section in the respective
-interval are also determined. Previous results of inclusive jet cross sections in the range
are extended to low transverse jet momenta
. The data are compared to predictions from perturbative QCD in next-to-leading order in the strong coupling, in approximate next-to-next-to-leading order and in full next-to-next-to-leading order. Using also the recently published H1 jet data at high values of
, the strong coupling constant
is determined in next-to-leading order.
