摘要
We discuss the perturbative running of alpha(s) in a model independent way. Our analysis contains data on the hadronic tau decay and hadronic cross sections in e(+)e(-) annihilation between 5 GeV and M-Z. We determine the color coefficients and the perturbative beta function of the strong interaction. The results are in agreement with QCD and rule out the QCD + light gluino scenarios on the 70.8%-93.0% C.L. We combine our method with that of the multijet analysis at LEP. The combined result rules out light gluinos on the 99.76% C.L., provided that nonperturbative effects are not large.
