Abstract

Jets, collimated clusters of particles, produced at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) are dominated by gg and qg partonic processes. In this paper, we report the differential inclusive jet cross-sections as a function of jet transverse momentum, pT, and pseudo-rapidity, η, at $\sqrt{s} = 200$ and 510 GeV from pp collisions at the STAR experiment, with kinematic reach of $0.07 < x_{\text{T}}{} = \frac{2p_{\text{T}}{}}{\sqrt{s}} < 0.5$ and 0.02 < xT < 0.32, respectively. The jet pT is corrected for underlying event contribution by using off-axis cone technique. These results will further constrain the gluon parton distribution function in the proton, tune Monte Carlo generators and provide critical reference data needed to study the quark-gluon plasma at STAR.
