QCD Studies and alphas Measurements at LEP
Abstract
The LEP experiments have measured event shapes using data taken at e+e- center-of-mass energies ranging from 91 GeV to 209 GeV. Using the final LEP event shape measurements, a combined value of the strong coupling constant alphas(MZ) has been extracted. Events with photon radiation have been used to extend the measurements to lower center-of-mass energies sqrt(s') to study the running of alphas. Alternative alphas measurements using four-jet rates have also been performed.
