A new measurement of alpha(s), is obtained from the distributions in thrust, heavy jet mass, energy-energy correlation and two recently introduced jet broadening variables following a method proposed by Catani, Trentadue, Turnock and Webber. This method includes the full calculation of O(alpha(s)2) terms and leading and next-to-leading logarithms resummed to all orders of alpha(s). The analysis is based on data taken with the DELPHI detector at LEP during 1991. I its found that the inclusion of the resummed leading and next-to-leading logarithms reduces the scale dependence of alpha(s) and allows an extension of the fit range towards the infrared limit of the kinematical range. The combined value for alpha(s) obtained at the scale mu2 = M(Z)2 is: alpha(s)(M(Z)2)= 0.123 +/- 0.006.

Abstract
A new measurement of alpha(s), is obtained from the distributions in thrust, heavy jet mass, energy-energy correlation and two recently introduced jet broadening variables following a method proposed by Catani, Trentadue, Turnock and Webber. This method includes the full calculation of O(alpha(s)2) terms and leading and next-to-leading logarithms resummed to all orders of alpha(s). The analysis is based on data taken with the DELPHI detector at LEP during 1991. I its found that the inclusion of the resummed leading and next-to-leading logarithms reduces the scale dependence of alpha(s) and allows an extension of the fit range towards the infrared limit of the kinematical range. The combined value for alpha(s) obtained at the scale mu2 = M(Z)2 is: alpha(s)(M(Z)2)= 0.123 +/- 0.006.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
