Measurement of the strong coupling constantαsinW-boson production at the CERN proton-antiproton collider

Abstract
The strong coupling constant αs has been determined from a study of the reaction p¯pW±X, Weν at s of 630 GeV in the UA1 experiment at CERN. The measurement is based upon a study of jet production in association with W bosons. The result obtained is αs(MW2)=0.127±0.026(stat)±0.034(syst).
