Determination of the strong coupling constant using matched NNLO+NLLA predictions for hadronic event shapes in ee annihilations
We present a determination of the strong coupling constant from a fit of QCD predictions for six event-shape variables, calculated at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) and matched to resummation in the next-to-leading-logarithmic approximation (NLLA). These event shapes have been measured in e+e− annihilations at LEP, where the data we use have been collected by the ALEPH detector at centre-...
متن کاملDetermination of the Strong Coupling αS from hadronic Event Shapes and NNLO QCD predictions using JADE Data
Event Shape Data from ee annihilation into hadrons collected by the JADE experiment at centre-of-mass energies between 14 GeV and 44 GeV are used to determine the strong coupling αS. QCD predictions complete to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO), alternatively combined with resummed next-to-leading-log-approximation (NNLO+NLLA) calculations, are used. The combined value from six different eve...
متن کاملNNLO corrections to event shapes in e + e − annihilation
We compute the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections to the six most important event shape variables related to three-particle final states in electronpositron annihilation. The corrections are sizeable for all variables, however their magnitude is substantially different for different observables. We observe that the NNLO corrections yield a considerably better agreement between...
متن کاملMatching of Resummed NLLA with Fixed NNLO for Event Shapes
Event shape distributions in ee annihilation processes are very popular hadronic observables, mainly due to the fact that they are well suited both for experimental measurement and for theoretical description because many of them are infrared and collinear safe. The main idea behind event shapes variables is to parameterize the energy-momentum flow of an event, such that one can smoothly descri...
متن کاملJET SHAPES AND DETERMINATIONS OF s FROM HADRONIC FINAL STATES IN DEEP INELASTIC SCATTERING AT HERA
Recent results from the study of hadronic nal states in deep inelastic scattering at HERA are reviewed. Jet shapes from neutral and charged current interactions at HERA are compared to those from e + e ? annihilation and p p collisions. The (2+1) jet event rate distributions R2+1(Q 2) and y2 are measured using the modiied JADE jet algorithm. The value of the strong coupling constant s is determ...
