  We present a preliminary measurement of the central inclusive jet cross
section using a successive combination algorithm based on relative transverse
momenta (kT) for jet reconstruction. We analyze a 87.3 pb-1 data sample
collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron ppbar Collider during
1994-1995. The cross section, reported as a function of transverse momentum (pT
> 60 GeV) in the central region of pseudo-rapidity (|eta| < 0.5), is in
reasonable agreement with next-to-leading order QCD predictions. This is the
first jet production measurement in a hadron collider using a successive
combination type of jet algorithm.
