  The inclusive jet cross section is measured in pp collisions with a
center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV at the LHC using the CMS experiment. The data
sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 34 inverse picobarns. The
measurement is made for jet transverse momenta in the range 18-1100 GeV and for
absolute values of rapidity less than 3. The measured cross section extends to
the highest values of jet pT ever observed and, within the experimental and
theoretical uncertainties, is generally in agreement with next-to-leading-order
perturbative QCD predictions.
