Abstract
The average squared transverse energy of jets in deep-inelastic muon-n ucleon scattering is measured as a function of the momentum transfer s quared (Q2), in the range 3 < Q2 < 25 GeV2. Perturbative QCD predicts that the average squared parton transverse energy will depend upon the strong coupling constant (alpha(S)). Identifying the transverse energ y of the jets with those of the corresponding partons, alpha(S) is fou nd to vary with Q2 as predicted by QCD.
