AbstractJet production in deep inelastic scattering for 120 < Q2 < 3600 GeV' has been studied using data from an integrated luminosity of 3.2 pbb' collected with the ZEUS detector at HERA. Jets are identified with the JADE algorithm. A cut on the angular distribution of parton emission in the y*-parton centre-of-mass system minimises the experimental and theoretical uncertainties in the determination of the jet rates. The jet rates, when compared to 0( (Y,=) perturbative QCD calculations, allow a precise determination of czs (Q) in three Q*-intervals. The values are consistent with a running of crys(Q), as expected from QCD. Extrapolating to Q = 1'14~0 yields a,( Mzo) = 0.117 f. 0.005 (stat) ?igi (syst,,,) f 0.007 (sys&,).r Supported by Worldlab,
