Abstract
A measurement of the strong coupling constant alpha(s) is presented us ing hadronic events produced in e(+)e(-) annihilations at root s = 58. 0 GeV from the AMY detector at TRISTAN. The measurement is based an co mparisons of the distributions of thrust, heavy jet mass, total jet br oadening, wide jet broadening, and energy-energy correlations with QCD calculations resummed up to next-to-leading-logarithms matched with t he O(alpha(s)(2)) perturbative calculation. Combining the results of t he individual evaluations, we find alpha(s) (58 GeV) = 0.132 +/- 0.006 . (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
