Determination of $\alpha^- s$ From a Differential Jet Multiplicity Distribution at {SLC} and {PEP}

We measured the differential jet-multiplicity distribution in e+e− annihilation with the Mark II detector. This distribution is compared with the second-order QCD prediction and αs is determined to be 0.123±0.009±0.005 at √s≊MZ (at the SLAC Linear Collider) and 0.149±0.002±0.007 at √s=29 GeV (at the SLAC storage ring PEP). The running of αs between these two center-of-mass energies is consistent with the QCD prediction.

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

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.

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

Schlatter, D. ; Abrams, G.S. ; Amidei, D. ; et al.
Phys.Rev.Lett. 49 (1982) 521, 1982.
Inspire Record 171070 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.20563

Energy correlations have been measured with the MARK II detector at the PEP storage ring (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center) at c.m. energy of 29 GeV and are compared to first-order QCD predictions. Fragmentation processes are significant and limit the precision with which the first-order strong-coupling constant can be determined.
