Abstract
We study the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the same-side/op posite-side two jet ratio at Fermilab energies and show that the theor etical uncertainty on the factorization/renormalization scale is reduc ed. At large pseudorapidity the difference between the predictions for singular and non-singular gluon distributions is 25% while the remain ing scale uncertainty is significantly smaller than this.
