Abstract: (Springer)
The inclusive one- and two-jet production cross-sections are measured in collisions of quasi-real photons radiated from the LEP beams at e+e− centre-of-mass energies see=130\sqrt{s}_{\rm ee}=130 and 136 GeV using the OPAL detector at LEP. Hard jets are reconstructed using a cone jet finding algorithm. The differential jet cross-sections dσ/dETjet{\rm d}\sigma /{\rm d}E_{T}^{\rm jet} are compared to next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations. Transverse energy flows in jets are studied separately for direct and resolved two-photon events.
