Abstract

The average squared transverse energy of jets in deep-inelastic muon-nucleon scattering is measured as a function of the momentum transfer squared (

Q^{2}

), in the range 3<

Q^{2}

<25

{GeV}^{2}

. Perturbative QCD predicts that the average squared parton transverse energy will depend upon the strong coupling constant (

α_{S}

). Identifying the transverse energy of the jets with those of the corresponding partons,

α_{S}

is found to vary with

Q^{2}

as predicted by QCD.
