Determining $\alpha_s$ at NNLO from Event Shape Data

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2010-11-19 v1

Abstract

We report on several methodologically different NNLO determinations of the strong coupling constant from event shapes and related observables in e+e- annihilation. The event shape distributions are analyzed within a combined framework of NNLO and NNLA resummation. We also investigate the role of hadronisation corrections, using both Monte Carlo generator predictions and analytic models to parametrise non-perturbative power corrections.
