Abstract

We present a study of the third moment of the inclusive momentum distribution of particles within jets produced by e+ e- annihilation at TRISTAN. In this analysis, the QCD coupling strength αs is determined by fits to the prediction of the Next-to-Leading Logarithm Parton-Shower model. The measured value of αs(57.9 GeV) = 0.134-0.005+0.006.
