Study of the structure of hadronic events and determination of alpha-s at s**(1/2) = 130-GeV and 136-GeV

The L3 collaboration Acciarri, M. ; Adam, A. ; Adriani, O. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 371 (1996) 137-148, 1996.
Inspire Record 404916 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.48010

We present a study of the structure of hadronic events recorded by the L3 detector at center-of-mass energies of 130 and 136 GeV. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 5 pb −1 collected during the high energy run of 1995. The shapes of the event shape distributions and the energy dependence of their mean values are well reproduced by QCD models. From a comparison of the data with resummed O (α s 2 ) QCD calculations, we determine the strong coupling constant to be α s (133 GeV) = 0.107 ± 0.005(exp) ± 0.006(theor).

The value of alpha_s from the fits to the event shape variables : thrust (THRUST), scale heavy jet mass (MH**2/S), total jet broadening (BT)and wide jet broadening (BW). The last value is combined result (COMBINED). The second systematic error is due to uncertainties in the theory.

A Determination of alpha-s in e+ e- annihilation at s**(1/2) = 57.3-GeV

The AMY collaboration Li, Y.K. ; Sagawa, H. ; Bodek, A. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 355 (1995) 394-400, 1995.
Inspire Record 406129 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.6546

We present a study of differential two jet ratios in multi-hadronic final states produced by e + e − annihilation in the AMY detector at TRISTAN. The data are compared to the predictions of the next-to-leading logarithm parton-shower (NLL PS) Monte Carlo and the O ( α s 2 ) matrix element QCD models. We determine the strong coupling strength α s (57.3 GeV) = 0.130 ± 0.006.

Determination of $alpha_{s}$ in second order {QCD} from hadronic $Z$ decays

The DELPHI collaboration Abreu, P. ; Adam, W. ; Adami, F. ; et al.
Z.Phys.C 54 (1992) 55-74, 1992.
Inspire Record 333272 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.14603

Distributions of event shape variables obtained from 120600 hadronicZ decays measured with the DELPHI detector are compared to the predictions of QCD based event generators. Values of the strong coupling constant αs are derived as a function of the renormalization scale from a quantitative analysis of eight hadronic distributions. The final result, αs(MZ), is based on second order perturbation theory and uses two hadronization corrections, one computed with a parton shower model and the other with a QCD matrix element model.
