We calculate the two-jet inclusive cross section at order αs3 in QCD. Because the one-loop perturbative corrections are included, there is considerable improvement in theoretical accuracy compared to the Born-level calculation. We compare the predicted dependence of the cross section on the jet-jet scattering angle η1-η2 to data from the CDF collaboration. We also discuss the dependence of the cross section on the jet-jet mass.
