Description

Hadronic event shape distributions are determined from data in e+e - collisions between 183 and 207 GeV. From these the strong coupling αs is extracted in O(αs2), NLLA and matched O(αs2)+NLLA theory. Hadronisation corrections evaluated with fragmentation model generators as well as an analytical power ansatz are applied. Comparing these measurements to those obtained at and around MZ allows a combined measurement of αs from all DELPHI data and a test of the energy dependence of the strong coupling. (orig.)
