====== TTP96-24 QCD Corrections to Jet Cross Sections in DIS ======
 
 
<hidden TTP96-24  QCD Corrections to Jet Cross Sections in DIS > Next-to-leading order corrections to
 jet cross sections in deep inelastic scattering at HERA are
 studied.
 The predicted jet rates allow for a precise
 determination of $\alpha_s(\mu_R)$ at HERA over a wide range of
 $\mu_R$.
 We argue, that the ``natural'' renormalization and
 factorization scale is set by the average  $k_T^B$
 of the jets in the Breit frame and suggest to 
 divide the data in corresponding $<k_T^B>$ intervals.
 Some implications
 for the determination of the gluon density and
 the associated forward jet production in the low $x$ regime at HERA
 are briefly discussed.
