Abstract
Using data taken with the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Sto rage Ring, we have determined the ratio of branching fractions: R-gamm a=Gamma(Upsilon(1S)--> gamma ilon(1S)-->ggg)=[2.75+/-0.04(stat)+/-0.15 (syst)]%. From this ratio, we have determined the QCD scale parameter Lambda(<(MS)over bar>) (defined in the modified minimal subtraction sc heme) to be Lambda(<(MS)over bar>)=233+/-11+/-59 MeV, from which we de termine a value for the strong coupling constant alpha(s)(M-gamma(1S)) =0.163+/-0.002+/-0.014, or alpha(s)(M-Z)=0.110+/-0.001+/-0.007.
