Abstract

From an analysis of multi-hadron events from Z0 decays, values of the strong coupling constant αs(M2 Z0)=0.131±0.006 (exp)±0.002(theor.) and αs(Mz 02) = -0.009 +0.007(exp.)-0.002 +0.006 (theor.) are derived from the energy-energy correlation distribution and its asymmetry, respectively, assuming the QCD renormalization scale μ=MZ0 . The theoretical error accounts for differences between O(α2 s) calculations. A two parameter fit ΛMS and the renormalization scale μ leads to Λ MS=216±85 MeV and μ2 s=0.027±0.013 or to αs(M2 Z0 )=0.117+0. 006 -0.008(exp.) for the energy-energy correlation distribution. The energy-energy correlation asymmetry distribution is insensitive to a scale change: thus the αs value quoted above for this variable includes the theoretical uncertainty associated with the renormalization scale.
