Inspire Record 297698 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.29653

The production rates for 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-jet hadronic final states have been measured with the DELPHI detector at the e + e − storage ring LEP at centre of mass energies around 91.5 GeV. Fully corrected data are compared to O(α 2 s ) QCD matrix element calculations and the QCD scale parameter Λ MS is determined for different parametrizations of the renormalization scale ω 2 . Including all uncertainties our result is α s ( M 2 Z )=0.114±0.003[stat.]±0.004[syst.]±0.012[theor.].

Determination of $\alpha^- s$ From a Measurement of the Direct Photon Spectrum in $\Upsilon$ (1s) Decays

Inspire Record 248655 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.30061

Using the ARGUS detector at the DORIS II e + e − storage ring we have measured direct photons from the decay ???(1 S )→ γgg . The ratio R γ = Γ (???(1S)→ γgg )/ Γ (???(1S)→ ggg )=(3.00±0.13±0.18)% has been determined, from which we deduce values of the strong coupling constant α s =0.225±0.011±0.019 and the QCD scale parameter Λ MS =115±17±28 MeV defined in the modified minimal-subtraction scheme. The shape of the measured spectrum clearly rules out the predictions of the lowest order QCD calculations.

Measurements of Energy Correlations in $e^+ e^- \to$ Hadrons

The JADE collaboration Bartel, W. ; Becker, L. ; Bowdery, C. ; et al.
Z.Phys.C 25 (1984) 231, 1984.
Inspire Record 202784 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.1998

Energy-energy-correlations (EEC) have been measured with the JADE detector at c.m. energies of 14 GeV, 22 GeV and in the region 29 GeV<Ecm<36 GeV. Corrected results are presented of EEC and their asymmetry, which can be directly compared to theoretical predictions. At 〈Ecm〉=34 GeV a comparison with second order QCD predictions yields good agreement for the string model fragmentation resulting in a value of the strong coupling constant αs=0.165±0.01 (stat.). The independent fragmentation models, which yield values of αs between 0.10 and 0.15 depending on the treatment of energy and momentum conservation and of the gluon splitting, do not provide a satisfactory description of the data over the full angular range.

Precise Measurement of Total Cross-Sections for the Process e+ e- ---> Multi-Hadrons in the Center-Of-Mass Energy Range Between 12.0-GeV and 36.4-GeV

The JADE collaboration Bartel, W. ; Becker, L. ; Bowdery, C. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 129 (1983) 145-152, 1983.
Inspire Record 191159 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.6639

The total cross section for the process e + e − → hadrons has been measured in the CM energy range between 12.0 and 36.4 GeV using the JADE detector with a typical systematic error of ±3%. The ratio R( σ( ee → hadrons ) σ pt ) is found to be constant over this range with an average value of 3.97 ± 0.05 (statistical and point-to-point systematic error) ± 0.10 (normalization error). The data were compared with the standard electro-weak interaction model including QCD corrections.

Differential Three Jet Cross-section in $e^+ e^-$ Annihilation and Comparison With Second Order Predictions of {QCD} and Abelian Vector Theory

The JADE collaboration Bartel, W. ; Cords, D. ; Dietrich, G. ; et al.
Phys.Lett.B 119 (1982) 239-244, 1982.
Inspire Record 180033 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.30830

Differential three-jet cross sections have been measured in e + e − -annihilation at an average CM energy of 33.8 GeV and were compared to first- and second-order predictions of QCD and of a QED-like abelian vector theory. QCD provides a good description of the observed distributions. The inclusion of second-order effects reduced the observed quark-gluon coupling strength by about 20% to α S = 0.16 ± 0.015 (stat.) ± 0.03 (syst.). The abelian vector theory is found to be incompatible with the data.
