DETERMINATION OF ALPHA-S FROM THE SCALING VIOLATION IN THE FRAGMENTATION FUNCTIONS IN E+E- ANNIHILATION

Abstract:

A determination of the hadronic fragmentation functions of the Z0 boson is presented from a study of the inclusive hadron production with the DELPHI detector at LEP. These fragmentation functions were compared with the ones at lower energies, thus covering data in a large kinematic range: 196 ≤ Q2 ≤ 8312 GeV2 and x (= Ph Ebeam) > 0.08. A large scaling violation was observed, which was used to extract the strong coupling constant in second order QCD: αs(MZ) = 0.118 ± 0.005. The correspondin...
