title: Multijet cross sections in deep inelastic scattering at next-to-leading order.
abstract: We present the perturbative prediction for three-jet production cross section in deep inelastic scattering at the next-to-leading order accuracy. We study the dependence on the renormalization and factorization scales of exclusive three-jet cross section. The perturbative prediction for the three-jet differential distribution as a function of the momentum transfer is compared to the corresponding data obtained by the H1 Collaboration at HERA.
