We describe a measurement of the strong coupling alpha_S(m_Z) from the 3-jet rate in hadronic final states of e+e- annihilation recorded with the JADE detector at centre-of-mass energies of 14 to 44 GeV. The jets are reconstructed with the…

Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) predicts that, at sufficiently high temperature and energy density, nuclear matter undergoes a phase transition from confined hadrons to a deconfined state of quarks and gluons known as the quark-gluon plasma…
Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the theory of strong interactions, in principle describes the interaction of quark and gluon fields. However, due to the self-coupling of the gluons, quarks and gluons are confined into hadrons and cannot exist…
Unlike some models whose relevance to Nature is still a big question mark, Quantum Chromodynamics will stay with us forever. Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), born in 1973, is a very rich theory supposed to describe the widest range of strong…
Precise measurements and calculations of the internal structure of hadronic jets produced in high energy proton or lead collisions have become a prominent research area in recent years. Jet substructure provides information about quantum…
We discuss perturbative and non-perturbative strong interaction effects in the pair production of stop squarks ($\tilde{t}_1$) at $e^+ e^-$ colliders. Events with an additional hard gluon allow to detect or exclude stop pair production even…
The physics of hadron-hadron collisions is very complex involving both perturbative and non perturbative QCD. It is imperative to study p-p collisions in detail to provide a variety of measurements against which the theoretical calculations…
