Abstract

From an analysis of multi-hadron events from Z⁰ decays, values of the strong coupling constant α_s(M² _{Z⁰)=0.131±0.006} (exp)±0.002(theor.) and α_s(M_z ⁰²) = _-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_Z⁰. The theoretical error accounts for differences between O(α² _s) calculations. A two parameter fit Λ_MS and the renormalization scale μ leads to Λ _MS=216±85 MeV and μ² s=0.027±0.013 or to α_s(M² _Z⁰)=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.

N2 - From an analysis of multi-hadron events from Z0 decays, values of the strong coupling constant αs(M2 Z0)=0.131±0.006 (exp)±0.002(theor.) and αs(Mz 02) = -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=MZ0 . The theoretical error accounts for differences between O(α2 s) calculations. A two parameter fit ΛMS and the renormalization scale μ leads to Λ MS=216±85 MeV and μ2 s=0.027±0.013 or to αs(M2 Z0 )=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 αs value quoted above for this variable includes the theoretical uncertainty associated with the renormalization scale.
