Abstract The azimuthal correlation angle, $$\Delta \phi $$ Δ ϕ , between the scattered lepton and the leading jet in deep inelastic $$e^{\pm }p$$ e ± p scattering at HERA has been studied using data collected with the ZEUS detector at a centre-of-mass energy of $$\sqrt{s} = 318 {\,\text {Ge}\hspace{-0.66666pt}\text {V}}$$ s = 318 Ge V , corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $$326 \,\text {pb}^{-1}$$ 326 pb - 1 . A measurement of jet cross sections in the laboratory frame was made in a fiducial region corresponding to photon virtuality $$10 {\,\text {Ge}\hspace{-0.66666pt}\text {V}}^2< Q^2 < 350 {\,\text {Ge}\hspace{-0.66666pt}\text {V}}^2$$ 10 Ge V 2 < Q 2 < 350 Ge V 2 , inelasticity $$0.04< y < 0.7$$ 0.04 < y < 0.7 , outgoing lepton energy $$E_e > 10 {\,\text {Ge}\hspace{-0.66666pt}\text {V}}$$ E e > 10 Ge V , lepton polar angle $$140^\circ< \theta _e < 180^\circ $$ 140 ∘ < θ e < 180 ∘ , jet transverse momentum $$2.5 {\,\text {Ge}\hspace{-0.66666pt}\text {V}}< p_\textrm{T,jet} < 30 {\,\text {Ge}\hspace{-0.66666pt}\text {V}}$$ 2.5 Ge V < p T,jet < 30 Ge V , and jet pseudorapidity $$-1.5< \eta _\textrm{jet} < 1.8$$ - 1.5 < η jet < 1.8 . Jets were reconstructed using the $$k_\textrm{T}$$ k T algorithm with the radius parameter $$R = 1$$ R = 1 . The leading jet in an event is defined as the jet that carries the highest $$p_\textrm{T,jet}$$
