摘要：

The spectral functions of the vector current and the axial-vector current have been measured in hadronic tau decays using the OPAL detector at LEP. Within the framework of the Operator Product Expansion a simultaneous determination of the strong coupling constant or,, the non-perturbative operators of dimension 6 and 8 and of the gluon condensate has been performed. Different perturbative descriptions have been compared to the data. The Contour Improved Fixed Order Perturbation Theory gives alpha(s)(m(tau)(2)) = 0.348 +/- 0.009(exp) +/- 0.019(theo) at the tau-mass scale and alpha(s)(m(Z)(2)) = 0.1219 +/- 0.0010(exp) +/- 0.0017(the)o at the Z(0)-mass scale. The values obtained for alpha(s)(m(Z)(2)) using Fixed Order Perturbation Theory or Renormalon Chain Resummation are 2.3% and 4.1% smaller, respectively. The 'running' of the strong coupling between s(0) similar or equal to 1.3 GeV2 and s(0) = m(tau)(2) has been tested from direct fits to the integrated differential hadronic decay rate R-tau(s(0)). A test of the saturation of QCD sum rules at the tau-mass scale has been performed.
