We present a determination of the strong coupling constant from a fit of QCD predictions for six event-shape variables, calculated at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) and matched to resummation in the next-to-leading-logarithmic approximation (NLLA). These event shapes have been measured in e+e- annihilations at LEP, where the data we use have been collected by the ALEPH detector at centre-of-mass energies between 91 and 206 GeV. Compared to purely fixed order NNLO fits, we observe that the central fit values are hardly affected, but the systematic uncertainty is larger because the NLLA part re-introduces relatively large uncertainties from scale variations. By combining the results for six event-shape variables and eight centre-of-mass energies, we find alpha_s(MZ)= 0.1224 +/- 0.0009 (stat) +/- 0.0009 (exp) +/- 0.0012 (had) +/- 0.0035 (theo), which improves previously published measurements at NLO+NLLA. We also carry out a detailed investigation of hadronisation corrections, using a large set of Monte Carlo generator predictions.

  1. Exploring soft anomalous dimensions for $1/Q$ power corrections

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    The leading logarithmic correction to the 1/Q power correction for thrust and C-parameter is computed, with a sizeable coefficient S1 ≈ 2.455 and a universal C-to-thrust ratio of 3π/2.

  2. Thrust distribution in electron-positron annihilation at full NNNLL+NNLO (and beyond) in QCD

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Laplace-space resummation of the thrust distribution at N4LL accuracy yields alpha_S(mZ^2) = 0.1181 +/- 0.0018, consistent with the world average, while physical-space resummation gives a lower value.

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Heavy jet mass in hadronic Higgs decays is predicted at N³LL′ (dijet) plus NNLL (Sudakov shoulder) plus NNLO, with new analytic trijet-region logarithms for H→gg and H→q̄q.

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A complete NNLO QCD fit to LHC and HERA dijet data yields alpha_s(m_Z) = 0.1178 with a total uncertainty of 0.0022 and tests the running coupling from 7 GeV up to 7 TeV.
