A Study of the recombination scheme dependence of jet production rates and of alpha-s (m(Z0)) in hadronic Z0 decays

The OPAL collaboration Akrawy, M.Z. ; Alexander, G. ; Allison, John ; et al.
Z.Phys.C 49 (1991) 375-384, 1991.
Inspire Record 299833 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.15085

The error includes the experimental uncertainties (±0.003), uncertainties of hadronisation corrections and of the degree of parton virtualities to which the data are corrected, as well as the uncertainty of choosing the renormalisation scale.

A Measurement of energy correlations and a determination of alpha-s (M2 (Z0)) in e+ e- annihilations at s**(1/2) = 91-GeV

The OPAL collaboration Akrawy, M.Z. ; Alexander, G. ; Allison, J. ; et al.

Inspire Record 298707 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.29525

From an analysis of multi-hadron events from Z 0 decays, values of the strong coupling constant α s ( M 2 Z 0 )=0.131±0.006 (exp)±0.002(theor.) and α s ( M z 0 2 ) = −0.009 +0.007 (exp.) −0.002 +0.006 (theor.) are derived from the energy-energy correlation distribution and its asymmetry, respectively, assuming the QCD renormalization scale μ = M Z 0 . The theoretical error accounts for differences between O ( α 2 s ) calculations. A two parameter fit Λ MS and the renormalization scale μ leads to Λ MS =216±85 MeV and μ 2 s =0.027±0.013 or to α s ( M 2 Z 0 )=0.117 +0.006 −0.008 (exp.) for the energy-energy correlation distribution. The energy-energy correlation asymmetry distribution is insensitive to a scale change: thus the α s value quoted above for this variable includes the theoretical uncertainty associated with the renormalization scale.

Determination of alpha-s from jet multiplicities measured on the Z0 resonance

Phys.Lett.B 248 (1990) 464-472, 1990.
Inspire Record 298078 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.29651

We present a study of jet multiplicities based on 37 000 hadronic Z 0 boson decays. From this data we determine the strong coupling constant α s =0.115±0.005 ( exp .) −0.010 +0.012 (theor.) to second order QCD at √ s =91.22GeV.

A Measurement of the Strong Coupling Constant $\alpha^- s$ to Complete Second Order

The Mark-J collaboration Adeva, B. ; Anderhub, H. ; Ansari, S. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 180 (1986) 181-184, 1986.
Inspire Record 231302 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.6535

The strong interaction coupling constant α s has been measured with a new method, the planar triple energy correlation in the reaction e + e - → hadrons at center-of-mass energies ranging from 14 GeV to 46.78 GeV. A complete second-order perturbative QCD calculation was used. Λ MS = 110 ± 30 −55 +70 MeV is found.

A Measurement of Strong Coupling Constant $\alpha_s$ to Second Order for 14-{GeV} $\le \sqrt{s} \le$ 46.78-{GeV}

Inspire Record 208007 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20386

Using the Mark-J detector at the high-energy e+e− collider PETRA, we compare the data from hadron production with the complete second-order QCD calculation over the energy region 22 to 46.78 GeV. We determine the QCD parameter Λ=100±30−45+60 MeV which yields the strong-coupling constant αs=0.12±0.02 for s=44 GeV.

A Model Independent Second Order Determination of the Strong Coupling Constant $\alpha^- s$

Adeva, B. ; Barber, D.P. ; Becker, U. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 50 (1983) 2051, 1983.
Inspire Record 189724 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.3086

With use of the MARK-J detector at s=34.7 GeV 21 000 e+e−→hadron events have been collected. By measurement of the asymmetry in angular energy correlations the strong coupling constant αs=0.13±0.01 (statistical)±0.02 (systematic) is determined, in complete second order, and independent of the fragmentation models and QCD cutoff values used.
