Using data from e+e- annihilation into hadrons, taken with the OPAL detector at LEP at the Z pole between 1991 and 1995, we performed a simultaneous measurement of the colour factors of the underlying gauge group of the strong interaction,…
We study power corrections to the event shapes in $\e^+\e^--$annihilation in the two jets kinematical region, $e\ll 1$. We argue that for $e \sim \Lambda_{QCD}/Q$ all power corrections of the form $1/\lr{Qe}^n$ have to be taken into account…
We present an update of the measurement of alpha_s(m_tau) from ALEPH tau hadronic spectral functions. We report a study of the perturbative prediction(s) showing that the fixed-order perturbation theory manifests convergence problems not…
Measurements of the QCD colour factors C_A and C_F and of the number of active quark flavours n_f in the process e+e- -> hadrons at high energy are presented. They are based on fits of O(alpha_S**2)+NLLA QCD calculations to distributions of…
Jet shapes have been measured in inclusive jet production in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV using 3 pb^{-1} of data recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. Jets are reconstructed using the anti-kt algorithm with transverse…
A novel method to extract the QCD coupling alpha_s from the energy evolution of the moments of the parton-to-hadron fragmentation functions at low fractional hadron momentum z, is presented. The evolution of the moments (multiplicity, peak,…
A set of equations representing the $W/Z$ mass ratio and various observables of $Z$ decays in terms of $\bar\alpha \equiv\alpha (m_Z)$, $G_{\mu}$, $m_Z$, $m_t$, $m_H$, $\bar\alpha_{s} \equiv\alpha_{s} (m_Z)$, $m_b$ and $m_\tau$ (all other…
We determine the strong coupling alpha_s at NNLO in perturbative QCD using the global dataset input to the NNPDF2.1 NNLO parton fit: data from neutral and charged current deep-inelastic scattering, Drell-Yan, vector boson production and…
In this work we study the impact of recent findings regarding non-perturbative corrections in the three-jet region to $e^+e^-$ hadronic observables, by performing a simultaneous fit of the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s$ and the…
A review is given on recent alpha(s) determinations from the H1 and ZEUS Collaborations. These are based on measurements of jet cross sections, event shape variables, as well as on the observed scaling violation of the structure function…
The latest experimental and theoretical developments in the high-precision determination of the strong coupling $\alpha_s$ are briefly reviewed. Six groups of observables: (i) lattice QCD data, (ii) hadronic $\tau$ decays, (iii)…
We report a measurement of the strong coupling constant, $\alpha_s(M_Z)$, extracted from inclusive jet production in $p\bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$1800 GeV. The QCD prediction for the evolution of $\alpha_s$ with jet transverse energy…
To measure the strong coupling alpha_s from event shape observables two ingredients are necessary. A perturbative prediction containing the dependence of observables on alpha_s and a description of the hadronisation process to match the…
We present an overview of the recent lattice determination of the QCD coupling $\alpha_s$ by the ALPHA Collaboration. The computation is based on the non-perturbative determination of the $\Lambda$-parameter of $N_{\rm f}=3$ QCD, and the…
Hadronic final states with a hard isolated photon are studied using data taken at centre-of-mass energies around $\Mz$ with the OPAL detector at LEP. The strong coupling $\as$ is extracted by fitting event shape variables for the reduced…
We consider subleading power corrections to event shape variables in $e^+e^-$ collisions at the first order in the QCD coupling $\alpha_s$. We start from the jettiness variable $\tau_2$ and the $y_{23}$ resolution variable for the $k_T$ jet…
The current status of theoretical work and experimental analyses on power corrections in QCD for e+e- annihilation will be reviewed. Measurements of the number of active quark flavours n_f and the QCD colour factors C_A and C_F derived from…
Infrared and collinear events shapes are suited to directly probe properties of hard QCD. They are traditionally used to measure the strong coupling and to test the gauge structure of QCD. Perturbative predictions exist in several…
In this article we study, via analytical methods, $1/Q$ non-perturbative power corrections to event shape mean values, addressing in particular the question of their interplay with soft perturbative emissions. Specifically we point out that…
A measurement of event shape variables is presented for large momentum transfer proton-proton collisions using the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Six event shape variables calculated using hadronic jets are studied in…
