摘要：

We report on an improved measurement of the value of the strong coupling constant sigma(s) at the Z0 peak, using the asymmetry of the energy-energy correlation function. The analysis, based on second-order perturbation theory and a data sample of about 145 000 multihadronic Z0 decays, yields alpha(s)(M(z0)) = 0.118 +/- 0.001 (stat.) +/- 0.003 (exp. syst.)-0.004(+0.009)(theor. syst.), where the theoretical systematic error accounts for uncertainties due to hadronization, the choice of the renormalization scale and unknown higher-order terms. We adjust the parameters of a second-order matrix element Monte Carlo followed by string hadronization to best describe the energy correlation and other hadronic Z0 decay data. The as result obtained from this second-order Monte Carlo is found to be unreliable if values of the renormalization scale smaller than about 0.15 E(cm) are used in the generator.
