Data from electron positron annihilations at different center of mass energies are collected by the four LEP experiments. Direct tests of hard QCD are performed by measuring and analysing event shape observables.
We have studied hadronic events from e+e- annihilation data at centre-of-mass energies of sqrt{s}=172, 183 and 189 GeV. The total integrated luminosity of the three samples, measured with the OPAL detector, corresponds to 250 pb^-1. We…
