Measurements of the Strong Coupling Constant and the QCD Colour Factors using Four-Jet Observables from Hadronic Z Decays in Aleph

Bravo Gallart, Sílvia 31 October 2001 (has links)
En aquest treball es presenten dues mesures, una de la constant d'acoblament forta i l'altra d'aquesta mateixa constant conjuntament amb els anomenats factors de color. Les dades foren recollides pel detector ALEPH durant els anys 1994-95 a energies al voltant dels 91.2 GeV.Per a les dues mesures s´usaren obervables de quatre jets. La mesura de la constant d´acoblament forta a partir de la taxa de sucesos a quatre jets fou la primera realitzada a partir d´un observable de quatre jet i en resultà una de les mesures més precises fins avui.La mesura conjunta de la constant d´acoblament i els factors de color representa un prova rigorosa de la teoria de les interaccions fortes, la cromodinàmica quántica. Els resultats, amb incerteses molt competitives, estan en acord absolut amb els valors esperats per la teoria i també amb els resultats d'altres col·laboracions. / In this work two measurements are presented. One is the measurement of the strong coupling constant alone, and the other the combined measurement of the strong coupling constant and the, so called, colour factors. Data were collected by the ALEPH detector during years 1994-95 at energies around 91.2 GeV.Both measurements made use of four-jet observables. The measurement of the strong coupling constant from the four-jet rate was the first ever made from a four-jet observable, and represents one of the most precise measurements at present.The combined measurement of the strong coupling constant and the colour factors is a stringent test of the theory, quantum chromodynamics. The results, with very competitive uncertainties, are in exact agreement both with the values expected by the theory and the results from other collaborations.
