Abstract
Using 109000 hadromc events obtained with the ALEPH detector at LEP at energies close to the Z resonance peak. the strong coupling constant ,alphas (MZ 2 ) is determined from an analysis of the global event shape variables thrust, heavy jet mass and the differential two-jet rate based on the kT-clustermg scheme. The analysis uses improved theoretical predictions in whlch leading and next-to-leading logarithms, resummed to all orders, supplement second order expressions. After combining the results from all variables, ,alphas( MZ2) is measured to be 0.125 ± 0 005. where the error is the quadratic sum of experimental and theoretical uncertanties, and is dominated by the latterI documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
