Next-to-leading order gluonic three-jet production at hadron colliders

We report the results of a next-to-leading order event generator of purely gluonic jet production. This calculation is the first step in the construction of a full next-to-leading order calculation of three-jet production at hadron colliders. Several jet algorithms commonly used in experiments are implemented and their numerical stability is investigated. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
