Abstract

Abstract A measurement of the strong coupling constant αS is presented using hadronic events produced in e+e− annihilations at s =58.0 GeV from the AMY detector at TRISTAN. The measurement is based on comparisons of the distributions of thrust, heavy jet mass, total jet broadening, wide jet broadening, and energy-energy correlations with QCD calculations resummed up to next-to-leading-logarithms matched with the O(αS2) perturbative calculation. Combining the results of the individual evaluations, we find α S (58 GeV )=0.132±0.006 .
