The large sample of W→eν events collected by the UA2 experiment at the CERN pp̄ collider between 1988 and 1990 has been used to determine the strong coupling constant α s . From a measurement of the ratio of the production rate of W events with one jet to that with no jets, α s has been extracted to second order in the MS ̄ scheme: α s (M 2 w )=0.123±0.0.18( stat .)±0.017 ( syst .) .

A measurement of the inclusive cross-section for production of direct photons in p̄p collisions at a centre of mass energy of 630 GeV is presented as a function of the photon transverse momentum. The data correspond to a total integrated luminosity of 7.4 pb −1 . The results support predictions from QCD theory.
