## Abstract

The inclusive production cross sections for forward jets, as well for jets in dijet events with at least one jet emitted at central and the other at forward pseudorapidities, are measured in the range of transverse momenta GeV/c in proton-proton collisions at = 7 TeV by the CMS experiment at the LHC. Forward jets are measured within pseudorapidities , and central jets within the range. The differential cross sections are compared to predictions from three approaches in perturbative quantum chromodynamics: (i) next- to-leading-order calculations obtained with and without matching to parton-shower Monte Carlo simulations, (ii) PYTHIA and HERWIG parton-shower event generators with different tunes of parameters, and (iii) CASCADE and HEJ models, including different non-collinear corrections to standard single-parton radiation. The single-jet inclusive forward jet spectrum is well described by all models, but not all predictions are consistent with the spectra observed for the forward-central dijet events.

 Uncertainties on the predicted NLO inclusive forward jet spectrum. Plot shows the contributions from non-perturbative effects, choice of PDF and the value of the strong cou- pling αS (computed with the PDF4LHC prescription), and uncertainties associated with the renormalization and fragmentation scales.

 Uncertainties on the predicted NLO inclusive forward jet spectrum. Plot shows the uncertainties from NP, PDF and (obtained with HERAPDF1.0), and the theoretical scales. Total uncertainties are obtained by adding quadratically the uncertainties on NP, PDF and the scales.
