Abstract
We have determined the strong coupling alpha(s) from measurements of j et rates in hadronic decays of Z0 bosons collected by the SLD experime nt at SLAC. Using six collinear and infrared safe jet algorithms we co mpared our data with the predictions of QCD calculated up to second or der in perturbation theory, and also with resummed calculations. We fi nd alpha(s)(M(Z)2)=0.118+/-0.002(stat)+/-0.003(syst) +/-0.010 (theory) , where the dominant uncertainty is from uncalculated higher order con tributions.
