Abstract
Gluon bremsstrahlung in scattering events with high transverse momentu m jets is expected to increase markedly with the hardness (Sigma E(T)) of the primary event. Within perturbative QCD we estimate a probabili ty of order unity to see additional minijets with E(T) greater than or similar to 15 GeV in ''dijet'' events with Sigma E(T) > 400 GeV. The veto of such minijets is a promising background rejection tool for the Higgs search at the LHC.
