    abstract = "This paper presents a measurement of the inclusive 3-jet production
differential cross section at a proton-proton centre-of-mass energy of 7
TeV using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5 fb(-1)
collected with the CMS detector. The analysis is based on the three jets
with the highest transverse momenta. The cross section is measured as a
function of the invariant mass of the three jets in a range of 445-3270
GeV and in two bins of the maximum rapidity of the jets up to a value of
2. A comparison between the measurement and the prediction from
perturbative QCD at next-to-leading order is performed. Within
uncertainties, data and theory are in agreement. The sensitivity of the
observable to the strong coupling constant alpha(S) is studied. A fit to
all data points with 3-jet masses larger than 664 GeV gives a value of
the strong coupling constant of alpha(S)(M-Z) = 0.1171 +/- 0.0013 (exp)
(+0.0073)(-0.0047) (theo)."
