Abstract

We present a state-of-the-art analysis on determining the strong coupling constant αs(mZ)\alpha_s(m_Z) from available e+ee^+e^- data for the Heavy Jet Mass (HJM) distribution. Dijet resummation is supplemented with additional resummation of shoulder logarithms appearing around the symmetric 3-jet configuration of the HJM spectrum. In addition to αs(mZ)\alpha_s(m_Z) we further obtain numerical results for two non-perturbative parameters, Ω1ρ\Omega_1^{\rho} and Θ1\Theta_1, encompassing effects from dijet and trijet hadronization effects, respectively.
