Selected recent quantum chromodynamics (QCD) measurements are
reviewed for Fermilab Run II Tevatron proton-antiproton collisions studied
by the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) and D0 Collaborations as a
centre-of-mass energy of s**(1/2) ñ.96 TeV. Tantamount to Rutherford
scattering studied at the TeV scale, inclusive jet and dijet production
cross-section measurements are used to seek and constrain new particle
physics phenomena, test perturbative QCD calculations, inform parton
distribution function (PDF) determinations, and extract a precise value
of the strong coupling constant, alpha_s(m_Z) ð.1173+0.0041_-0.0049.
