JetViP is a computer program for the calculation of inclusive single-and dijet cross sections in eP -and eγ-scattering in NLO QCD. The virtuality of the photon, radiated by the incoming electron, can be chosen in a continuous range, reaching from photoproduction into deep inelastic scattering. The various contributions to the full jet cross section, including the resolved photon contributions, are implemented. The calculation is based on the phase-spaceslicing method.
Nature of physical problem:In eP -and eγ-scattering experiments, the hadronic final state can be analysed by jet cluster algorithms, yielding inclusive single-and dijet cross sections. These can be obtained in a continuous range of photon virtuality. The cross sections allow the extraction of parameters, such as α s , Λ MS or parton densities (also of the virtual photon), if the respective jet cross sections are theoretically known.

Typical running time:Varies strongly from LO to NLO and depends on type of subprocess (direct or resolved). At LO, running times of about 1 minute for a cross section with fixed bin-size in one of the kinematical variables are typical. At NLO, the running time for such a cross section varies between 30 minutes (for the single resolved contributions) to 5 hours (for the double resolved contributions).2
