Power Corrections at LEP
Abstract
Description
The size of non-perturbative corrections to event shape observables is predicted to fall like powers of the inverse centre of mass energy. These power corrections are investigated for different observables from $e^+e^-$-annihilation measured at LEP as well as previous experiments. The obtained corrections are compared to other approaches and theoretical predictions. Measurements of $α_s$ using power corrections are compared to conventional methods.
