dc.descriptionBased on the PYTHIA physics simulation package, and a fast simulation of the proposed detector for the Next Linear Collider, a set of cuts is identified which leads to a sample of e+e- -> qq events appropriate for the precise measurement of alpha_s in e+e- annihilation at sqrt(s) = 500 GeV/c^2. Using these cuts, the systematic uncertainty on alpha_s associated with correcting for selection cut biases and remaining non-e+e- -> qq (q ^= t) contamination is expected to be less than +/- 1%. This work was done as part of a study of the prospects for the precise measurement of alpha_s at future High Energy Physics facilities, undertaken for the 1996 Snowmass Workshop on New Directions in High Energy Physics.
